This monument stands in tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen, the author and writer of universally loved fairy tales. The monument features a larger than life bronze sculpture of Andersen surrounded by smaller sculptures of characters from his fairy tales, including “The Snail and the Rosebush”. The sculpture depicts Andersen as a man in middle age (I think), although it’s kind of hard to tell because sculpture depicting Andersen and his clothing is smooth and almost devoid of texture. This monument can be found in Hviezdoslavovo square along with many other monuments in the square. It’s worth a visit if in the square, especially if you want to experience the halcyon days of your youth.

A beautiful tribute to the writer H. Christian Andersen.

A large bronze statue of the famous author, adorned with some characters from his stories. Aparantly there was also a duck, but this now disappeared. Note how shiny the fingers are as many visitors hold or rub his hands!

One of many statues in Bratislava

Hans Christian Andersen is now a well-known personality in the city of Bratislava. His statue, designed by Tibor Bártfay and erected to mark the 200th anniversary of his birth in 2006, stands on Hviezdoslavovo Square and reminds passers-by not only of his stories, whose characters surround the figure of Andersen, but also of the fact that he once visited Bratislava.

The thought behind the making of the statue and the way all of his fictional characters are sculptured by his side is really beautiful.
