History
Čunovo was first mentioned as a village in

16th century,
Croats fleeing from the
Ottomans in the south settled in the village. Until

Jarovce and
Rusovce, was part of Hungary and was transferred that year with the two others to
Czechoslovakia, to enable construction of the
Port of Bratislava. It became an official part of Bratislava on
January 1 1972. Some of the inhabitants still use the
Croatian language and preserve folk traditions.

In 2000, a new art museum called
Danubiana was opened.
