Buda Castle Tunnel, Classical tunnel under Castle Hill, Budapest, Hungary.
The 350-meter-long tunnel stretches beneath Buda Castle, connecting the castle district with the surrounding areas through two traffic lanes and pedestrian paths.
Completed in 1857 according to Adam Clark's designs, the tunnel's western entrance sustained damage during World War II while the eastern entrance remained intact.
The eastern entrance displays the Hungarian coat of arms at the top of its ellipsoid arch, representing national identity through architectural elements.
The tunnel serves as a primary transportation route for vehicles and pedestrians, linking the elevated castle district to the lower parts of Budapest.
An apartment built into the eastern entrance traditionally houses the caretaker responsible for maintaining both the tunnel and the Chain Bridge.
