Visegrád Castles and Ruins

Visegrád served as a crucial defensive point along the Danube Bend for centuries. This collection spans from the Roman Empire's Pannonian Limes at Gizellamajor and Sibrik Hill to the 13th-century fortifications built by King Béla IV. The complex includes the hilltop Citadel, the Lower Castle featuring the hexagonal Solomon Tower, and the reconstructed Royal Palace of King Mátyás, showcasing Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements alongside medieval ruins and archaeological sites.
