Coated with rows of blue tiles and covered with a blue-glazed roof, Blue Church of St. Elizabeth looks like a giant wedding cake, according to many. The candy-colored church was built around 1908 in the Hungarian secessionist style and first served as the chapel of the neighboring high school. Everything about the church bears resemblance to a cake--its shape, the facade's light blue color, and the white, frosting-like ornaments. A cylindrical church tower rises 37 m (120 ft) from the ground. Notice the circular mosaic of St. Elizabeth of Hungary above the main portal and the altar decorated with the image of her giving alms to the poor.

It's a pretty bright blue chuch. Not much in the area but if you are walking it is worth a visit. It does make a good picture.

Beautiful small church within walking distance from the city centre. Too bad we weren't able to enter the garden for the best photo shots

Beautiful from the inside out. Quick stop to take a couple of nice pictures. You'll be lucky if it's open but usually there has to be a wedding or something else so you can take a look inside.

One of the amazing place in Bratislava. The blue church is very beautiful. The architecture gives a 3d printing effect on the building. Nearby buildings also have similar effect. The interior of the church is really nice as well
