Lanfranconi Palace or Lafranconi Palace

neo-Renaissance representative bourgeois apartment house in Bratislava's Old Town, on the corner of Ludovita Štúr Square (number 1) and Vajanského nábreží. The building was built in 1876-1877 by Ignác Feigler on the site of the former salt office. The iron roof structure comes from the buildings of the Vienna World Exhibition.[3][4]

It was commissioned by Antonio Lanfranconi (or Antonio Lafranconi), but as it was built after his death, it was only used by his son Enea Grazioso Lanfranconi.[4]

Today, the palace houses the Ministry of Environment of the Slovak Republic.[5]
