On the cemetery of St. Martin are the graves of the composers Ján Cikker, +1989 (> above) and Alexander Moyzes (1906-84); he was, with Suchoň and Cikker, one of the leading 20th century composers of Slovakia. He wrote mainly orchestral music with a nationalist character, incl. twelve symphonies.
Also Alexander Dubček (1921-92) was buried here, the enlightened Czechoslovak leader who irritated the Soviets, resulting in their brutal assumption of power in 1968.
