Franciscans came to Bratislava after the Tatarian invasion and they started to build the church in about third quarter of the 13th century. From those times remain also the enclosure walls of the nave and the presbytery. The church has one nave, Romanesque-gothic portal and massive enclosure walls. The small tower was built in the end of the 14th century. It was disassembled in 19th century and placed as the pavilion in Janko Kráľ’s garden in Petrzalka. Today’s looks of the tower is the replica of the original. In 1296, the chapel of St. John the Evangelist at the Franciscans church was consecrated per sample the French kings chapel in Paris.
