Esztergom Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Esztergom, Hungary
The castle stands on Castle Hill, overlooking the Danube River at the border between Hungary and Slovakia, featuring defensive walls and stone foundations.
The fortress served as the residence of Hungarian kings from the 10th to the 13th century until King Béla IV relocated the royal seat to Buda.
The castle complex contains archaeological remains from Celtic settlements, Roman fortifications, and medieval Hungarian architectural elements spanning multiple centuries.
Visitors can access the castle ruins daily through guided tours that include the restored sections of the royal palace and remaining fortification structures.
The castle withstood the Mongol invasion of 1241, making it one of the few Hungarian fortresses to resist the forces of the Golden Horde.
