Maybe the most emblematic building of Visegrád which is commonly just referred as the castle of Visegrád, and with this emphasizing the cultural value of the respect-demanding complex peaking on the top of the Várhegy.
In reality, the Solomon Tower is part of the whole, too, which can be found on the base of the Várhegy as the Lower Castle. Nowadays, it requires some imagination to connect the two different sights which are even treated separately. The reconstructed layout gives a little help with this.
In every year, thousands of visitors goes to the Citadel, the highest sight of Visegrád, which has an extraordinary view on the Danube Bend from its terrace and which hosts many exciting exhibitions – mainly about the Middle Ages
Yet, why most visitors of Visegrád know and really adore the Citadel is the panorama from the top.
From the peak of the mountain, you get a view on the city and the Danube Bend that you will never forget for the rest of your life for sure. And if you have been here before, you just have to walk out to the terrace of the Citadel to be gripped by the unforgettable experience again.
Permanent exhibitions of the Citadel:
- Holy Crown exhibition
- Historical exhibition
- Panopticon (in the memory of the Congress in 1335)
- Medieval history of the weapons
