history

From May 29, 1922, the area of ​​today's Archdiocese of Bratislava was under canonical law of the Apostolic Administration Trnava , which was spun off from the Archdiocese of Esztergom . On December 30, 1977, Pope Paul VI raised this administration with the Apostolic Constitution Qui divino to the Archdiocese of Trnava .

With the decree of the Congregation for Bishops of May 31, 1995, the Archdiocese of Trnava was renamed the Archdiocese of Bratislava-Trnava and St. Martin's Cathedral in Bratislava was elevated to a co- cathedral .

On February 14, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI. with the Apostolic Constitution Slovachiae sacrorum, the area around Bratislava from the Archdiocese of Bratislava-Trnava and established the Archdiocese of Bratislava. At the same time, the seat of the Metropolitan was relocated from Trnava to Bratislava and the already existing ecclesiastical province of Bratislava-Trnava was restructured into the ecclesiastical province of Bratislava , which, in addition to the dioceses of Nitra and Banská Bystrica that already existed at that time, also the newly circumscribed Archdiocese of Trnava and the newly established diocese Žilina as suffragan dioceses belong.
