The City of Bratislava is the capital municipality and local self-governing administrative authority of Slovakia. It is mandated with managing municipal property, urban planning, local public services, public transportation, and social infrastructure for its residents and seventeen boroughs. First recorded in historical chronicles in 907 CE as Brezalauspurc, Bratislava formally gained its municipal self-governing privileges when King Andrew III granted it free royal town status in 1291.
