Grassalkovich Palace

I didn't like the location of the palace, in the crossing of the main roads of the new city. But it was still charming, with a great story behind it. The Summer Palace was built in 1760, for the President of the Hungarian Royal Chamber, and Director of the Empress Maria Theresa, Count Anton Grassalkovich, and today is the official residence of the President of the Slovak Republic. The building is not open to the public, so from behind bars we can see the changing of the guard at certain times, and the Avenue of the Presidents where all foreign heads of state come on their official visits to Slovakia.
