Bratislava Castle is a beautiful treasure of world heritage. The recent finds of Celtic and Roman architectural remains, not to mention the Celtic coin hoard, Roman bronze signet, and other artifacts have extended our knowledge of Slovak and Central European history by almost 1000 years before Bratislava was first mentioned in writing in 907 CE. It would be a shame to simply cover up the 1st century BCE Celtic kilns, Roman pavements and water tanks when it might be possible to integrate them into the design of the planned underground garage and to extend the exhibits of the Slovak National Museum that way. In Athens, Greece, archaeological finds from digging new subway tunnels were integrated into the design of the Metro stations and have become tourist attractions in their own right. It would be great if visitors of Bratislava Castle could similarly experience the amazingly varied and long history of occupation on Bratislava's Castle hill.

 Yes, but there is no need for garages at all... just across the road is garage, whitch is 3/4 empty all the time. Now there is a construction pit, and it have to be filled with something. I think arceological presentation of more than 2000yrs of Bratislava history would be much better, than another empty garage. That garage is realy bad and useless idea at all, from the wery beginning.... but no one ask us, they just decided and thats it...
