FCC in Bratislava also takes care of mowing
the grass, emptying bins at squares and bus

flowers and shrubs. In 2016, FCC was par-
ticularly taking care of the cleanliness in the
city and planting flowers due to the Slovak
presidency in the European Union. There was
higher frequency in both street cleaning and
emptying the bins. We are glad we got the
chance to be part of the important prepara-
tions for our EU presidency!
FCC is a reliable partner of the capital city of
Slovakia - Bratislava.
Bratislava, Slovakia’s
largest city is situated on
the banks of the Danube,
between Austria and
Hungary. This unique
location makes it the only
capital city in the world
bordered by two countries.
The Castle of Bratislava stands as a symbol of domination and supremacy
on top of a hill overlooking the city’s historic district. Hungary, Austria and
the Danube Valley can be seen from atop the castle’s walls.
At the end of the Stone Age, the hill was colonised by the Celts who built
a settlement known as Oppidum. Afterwards, and during many centuries,
the castle was a fortress, the seat of the General Seminary for the
Priesthood during the government of Joseph II and later served as a mili-
tary headquarters.
It was rebuilt several times and was transformed from the Gothic to the
Renaissance and finally to the Baroque style. In 1811 the castle was des-
troyed by fire and was not rebuilt until the years 1953-1968.
