History

Trnavské mýto takes its name from its situation on the road connecting Bratislava to Trnava ("Trnavská") and from the toll point ("mýto"), though no tolls are collected there.

Formerly, a large marketplace was located here [cite book | last = Lacika | first = Ján | title = Bratislava | series = Visiting Slovakia | year = 2000 | publisher = [http://www.dajama.sk/ DAJAMA] | isbn = 80-88975-16-6 | pages = p. 195 ] but was later moved to Miletičova ulica.
