The square is named after Pavol Országh Hviezdoslav. ==History== This square's names were earlier:〔Erzsébet Varga, "Pozsony", p. 74 (Hungarian)〕 ((ハンガリー語: Kossuth Lajos tér)-(ドイツ語: Kossuth Lajos platz), (ハンガリー語: Radetzky tér)-(ドイツ語: Radetzky platz), (ハンガリー語: Séta tér)-(ドイツ語: Promenade)) This square existed in the Kingdom of Hungary for 1000 years. Many of medieval houses were built here. Northern part of this square there are Kőszeghy, Eszterházy,Széchen, Stáhl, Záborszky, Pálffy, Sulkovszky Maldeghem, Malatinszky, Werner houses and southern part of square there are Spineger, Gervay, Löw-Palugyay, Kozics, Wigand, Adler, Pollák, Sprinzl houses.〔Tivadar Ortvay, "Pozsony város utcái és terei", p. 283 (Hungarian)〕 The most notable buildings are the Notre Dame cloister and today's Slovak National Theatre which can be found in the eastern part of square. Earlier the most important noblemen sent their daughters to learn in this cloister, for example: Pálffy, Forgách, Harrach, Lichtenstein. On 17 March 1848 the Hungarian national leader, Lajos Kossuth proclaimed from Hotel Zöldfa ''(literally : Greenwood)s balcony: "Hungary's reborn" to the assembling mass at this square because Ferdinand V signed March laws at the Primate's Palace last day.〔Erzsébet Varga, "Pozsony", p. 15 (Hungarian)〕 First Hungarian fancing school's practising hall also worked here.〔Tivadar Ortvay, "Pozsony város utcái és terei", p. 303 (Hungarian)〕 Lajos Kossuth, Franz Joseph, Albert Einstein and Alfred Nobel stayed at this hotel too. This hotel was today's Hotel Carlton's place.〔Erzsébet Varga, "Pozsony", p. 75 (Hungarian)〕 In 1911 Sándor Petőfi's sculpture was erected opposite today's Slovak National Theatre. However it was unsuccessfully attacked with dynamite after the Czechoslovak army occupied the city in 1918.〔Ferenc Keszeli, "Pozsony... Anno... Századfordulós évtizedek, hangulatok képes levelezõlapokon ", p. 122, p. 150, p. 154 (Hungarian)〕 After this sculpture was boarded over round temporarily until its removal.〔Ferenc Keszeli, "Pozsony... Anno... Századfordulós évtizedek, hangulatok képes levelezõlapokon ", p. 150, p. 154 (Hungarian)〕 The square underwent major reconstruction at the end of the 20th century. Before reconstruction, it looked like a small city park; now it looks like a city promenade. On February 24, 2005 US President George W. Bush gave a public speech in Hviezdoslav Square during his visit to Bratislava for the Slovakia Summit 2005 with the president of Russia Vladimir Putin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hviezdoslavovo námestie (Bratislava)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
