Napoleon Soldier, Bratislava (May 2014)


This soldier can be found at the Main square, near the Old Town Hall, leaning on a bench you can sit on – and have a great photo! Napoleon and his army were in Bratislava in 1805. This soldier is supposed to have been going through Bratislava when he fell in love with a local girl, stayed in the city and became a producer of sparkling wine. He was called Hubert – which is also the name of Slovakia’s most popular sparkling wine’s brand.
