Buda Castle
Buda Castle is a magnificent building located in Budapest (the capital of Hungary). Previously, it was known as the Royal Palace, because at one time, it was the residence of the Hungarian kings. In 2002, the Buddha Castle was added to the UNESCO list.
Buda Castle is simply admired for its representativeness. Since the 13th century, this building has been inhabited by the most important people in the country. It has been exposed to danger more than once, and it has also been destroyed more than once. But, despite this, this building is still considered one of the most important sights of Hungary, and also serves as an ornament of its capital.
In the last months of the Second World War, Buda Castle was completely destroyed. But, fortunately, ancient records and maps were preserved here, thanks to which the laborious work of specialists on the complete restoration of this palace was carried out. The defensive walls were reconstructed here, as well as the interior of the interior.
In addition to the existing palace, which was the property of King Sigmond, a library was built here, where royal books and manuscripts were preserved.
The magnificent halls of the palace, which are decorated with coffered ceilings, wonderful carvings of expensive mahogany and, of course, luxurious furniture, simply delight the eyes of contemporaries.
In front of the Royal Palace, it is impossible not to notice the ancient ruins of fortifications. Modern tourists in Buda Castle are invited to visit museums, the most interesting and visited of which is the National Gallery. Here you can also see the chapel of St. Michael, the Church of Mary Magdalene.
There is a whole chain of natural caves in this place, which have long served as wine cellars for Hungarians.
The Buda Fortress is very large, but, to be honest, it does not look like a defensive building, since the fortress's outer wall is partially absent here. The castle has several facades, as well as a wonderful courtyard, where tourists enjoy strolling. One of its facades is aimed at Pest, and it is near it that the sculpture dedicated to Prince Eugene of Savoy is located.
Buda Castle is the charming historical center of Budapest, which, after numerous ruins, was restored by 1966. Nowadays, negotiations are underway to restore all the lost parts of it.
