St. Stephen's Capuchin Church, Bratislava

The Capuchin Church of St. Stephen (Kostelem Nalezeni sv. Krize a Kapucinska) belongs to the Capuchin monastic order and stands just outside the confines of the Old Town of Bratislava, at the north west corner close to Michael's Gate. The church was built in the mid 1700's. Today it has a salmon pink exterior, fronted by a row of statues of various saints. The Baroque church has one nave, and is built in accordance with all the Capuchin churches throughout Europe. This one is dedicated to St Stephen, and a statue of Stephen is installed above the front portico on the outside.
