Mace Tower, Medieval defense tower at Buda Castle, Hungary
The stone tower stands along the southern fortification wall of Buda Castle, featuring thick walls and strategic positioning near Ferdinand Gate.
The tower dates back to the 14th century during King Louis I's reign and sustained major damage in 1686 during the Battle of Buda.
The tower represents Hungarian medieval military architecture and forms an essential component of Budapest's preserved fortification system.
The tower location at Szent György tér 2 allows visitors to combine their visit with exploration of other sections of Buda Castle.
The reconstruction work in the 1950s maintained the original medieval defensive characteristics while incorporating modern preservation techniques.
