In the world there are very few places where coronations have taken place . Reims – Coronation city of the kings of France , Prague – city of coronation of Czech kings, Frankfurt – Coronation city of the emperors of Holy Roman Empire. This includes the coronation city of Bratislava , the capital and coronation city of Hungarian kings, which is the capital of the Slovak Republic at the time.
