Hrad Devín patrí mezi nejvetší návštevnické atrakce mesta Bratislavy a jeho okolí. Jeho blízká vzdálenost od mesta a snadná dostupnost i mestskou hromadnou dopravou z nej delají ideální turistický cíl.

Zrícenina hradu Devín. Tato atraktivní lokalita - skalnatý ostroh nad rekou Dunaj - byla osídlena již v dobe ríše Velké Moravy jako ochrana pred Franskou ríší.
V 13. století zde byla vybudována pohranicní pevnost. Zlatý vek zažila pevnost v 15. století, kdy hrad vlastnila dynastie Garayových.
Poté jej vlastnilo ješte nekolik rodu.
Za konec hradu mužeme považovat rok 1809, kdy hrad znicila Napoleonska vojska. Od té doby hrad chátrá.
V roce 1935 koupil hrad ceskoslovenský stát, nyní hrad spravuje Bratislavské muzeum, které zde provádelo nekolik archeologických pruzkumu.


Devin Castle is one of the biggest visitor attractions in the city of Bratislava and its surroundings. Its close proximity to the city and easily accessible by public transport make it an ideal tourist destination.

Ruins of Devin Castle. This attractive location - a rocky promontory overlooking the river Danube - was already occupied in the kingdom of Great Moravia as a protection against the Frankish kingdom.
In the 13th century border fortress was built. Golden Age experienced a fortress in the 15th century, when the castle was owned Garayových dynasty.
After a few still owned by the family.
The castle can be considered the end of the year 1809, when the castle was destroyed by Napoleon's army. Since then the castle fell into decay.
In 1935 the castle was bought by the Czechoslovak state, now managed by the Bratislava Castle Museum, which are engaged in several archeological survey.
