In Bratislava's Petržalka, a unique masonry tank is being preserved by volunteers, reflecting the area's tumultuous history.

The district of Petržalka in Bratislava, Slovakia, is not renowned for its historical landmarks, yet it houses intriguing sites that shed light on its tumultuous 20th-century history. Among these is a unique masonry tank constructed from bricks and concrete, a testament to the region's significant military past.
