ZNOVUOBJAVENÁ RYBÁRSKA BRÁNA A JEJ GOTICKÉ PREDBRÁNIE NA FRESKE POSSONIA VO FLORENCII

The appearance of the Fisherman’s Gate can be seen in the 1563 historical veduta of the town by Hans Mayer and the unique mural painting POSSONIA at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The archaeological survey in 2001 revealed surprisingly well preserved remnants of the Gothic fore-gate of Fisherman’s Gate. Uncovered murals represent the most valuable part of the fore-gate, which is a unique example of 15th century Gothic fortification architecture in Slovakia. The discovery and presentation of the remains of Fisherman’s Gate based on the survey conducted by the Municipal Monument Preservation Institute in Bratislava was granted the “2001 Discovery of the Year” award and the medal Europa Nostra 2002 for the protection of cultural heritage of the European Union.
