Castle of Somló, Medieval castle ruins on Somló Hill, Hungary
The stone walls and towers of Castle Somló stand at the summit of an extinct volcanic hill, overlooking the surrounding wine region.
Built after the Mongol invasion in the 13th century, the castle served as a strategic fortress and residence for noble families until the 18th century.
The castle remains connect to the rich wine traditions of Somló, where generations of vintners produce white wines using ancient volcanic soils.
Visitors reach the castle through a narrow road with limited parking spaces, followed by a steep hiking trail to the hilltop location.
The volcanic foundation of Castle Somló created natural defense features, with basalt cliffs forming parts of its structural fortification.
