Račianske mýto


Račianske mýto (literally Rača Toll) is a major transport junction and intersection in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. It connects the city center with the suburb of Rača and also serves as a transport artery between Trnavské mýto and Old Town.

Račianske mýto also contains an attached city park and several major public transport stops. It is located at the border of the Old Town and New Town districts, located at 48°9′28″N 17°07′12″E / 48.15778°N 17.12000°E / 48.15778; 17.12000.

In addition to the streets mentioned below, the intersection is crossed by tram lines north-south, trolleybus lines east-west, and bus routes in all directions.

The northwestern side of the area includes a park and building complex, partially built on the site of two former cemeteries. Near the park's central fountain is a monument, erected in 2002 to commemorate this history. Nearby stands a statue entitled Hirošima, a gift from sculptor Tibor Bártfay, at the former site of a Soviet statue of a militiaman dating to 1972 commemorating the Red Army's victory over Nazi Germany.
