Fiľakovo Castle, Medieval fortress in District of Lučenec, Slovakia.

The castle stands on a 242-meter volcanic hill, featuring multiple defensive walls, stone bastions, and the remains of a Renaissance palace complex.

Built in the 13th century to resist Mongol invasions, the fortress served as an Ottoman administrative center from 1554 to 1593.

The Bebek Tower houses a museum displaying artifacts from different periods of occupation, including Hungarian, Ottoman, and Slovak rule periods.

The castle opens daily from March 15 to November 15, between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with parking available near the Municipal Office.

A half-embedded cannonball remains visible in the pentagonal Bebek bastion's wall, marking the 1682 siege that led to the castle's decline.
