During a quick hop into the city, we stopped by Trinity Church and it's burial grounds. Although the church was under renovation and closed, the grounds were accessible. Touring the grounds was like a walk through a history book. Seeing gravestones like that of Alexander Hamilton was very interesting. Also interesting is Hamilton's gravesite in relation to Wall Street. When hanging out in Lower Manhattan, take an hour and take a stroll.

A very ornate interior in this Baroque-style Catholic Church. It was built on the site of the old church of Saint Michael which was demolished in 1529 during the Ottoman wars. The design is thought to be copied from St. Peter’s Church in Vienna. It has a main altar with several side altars with the main portal richly decorated in Rococo style, celebrating the holy Trinity. The paintings behind the main inside altars are really amazing and need time to be appreciated. From 2003 to 2009 Church was the cathedral of the military Ordinariate of Slovakia.

The Trinitarian Church or Church of Saint John of Matha and Saint Felix of Valois is a Baroque style church in the north part of the Old Town of Bratislava. The exterior is mostly plain mix of terracotta and yellow colours that belies the decorative elements of the interior. The interior is dominated by the large high altar depicting St. John of Matha and St. Felix of Valois ransoming prisoners from Turkish capture. The church has restricted opening hours, so do check the times before visiting.

The Trinitarian Church or Trinity Church, full name Church of Saint John of Matha and Saint Felix of Valois is a Baroque-style church in Bratislava's Old Town borough, on the Župné námestie square. The church was built on the site of the older Church of St. Michael, which was demolished in 1529, along with the settlement of St. Michael, during the Ottoman wars, along with other suburbs, so as to see better the attacking Turks. The Trinitarian Order started construction of the church in 1717 and it was sanctified in 1727, although work in the interior continued into the first half of the 18th century.

Τhe church was built in the first half of the 18th century in the spirit of the Baroque style at the site of the former parish church of St. Michala. The pattern of St. Peter in Vienna. It was built by the Ritual of Trinitarians, consecrated to one of its founders, St. John of Matthew. The church has an oval disposition with a posterior axis and a concavely folded backdrop of the façade, thus incorporating the dynamic Baroque line. The church towers did not originally have the current low roofs, but the high baroque roofs, which are depicted in several city's old city towers. The oval church of the church is vaulted by a dome decorated with illusive frescoes by the Italian painter and decorator Antonio Galli Bibien (1736-1740). On the massive main altar of AG Bussi there is an altar painting depicting the founders of the St. John of Matthew and Felix Valois, how to buy slaves from Turkish captivity. The painting is a work of František Xaver Palka from the period after 1745. The statues of St. Agnes and St. The catarins on the sides of the altar are attributed to Bavarian sculptor Johann Baptist Straub.
