Visegrád, Medieval castle town on the Danube Bend, Hungary
The town encompasses an extensive fortress complex with an Upper Castle, Lower Castle, and Royal Palace along the Danube River at 110 meters elevation.
The settlement gained prominence in 1325 when King Charles I established the royal residence here, making it the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary.
The town continues medieval traditions through regular historical tournaments, weapon demonstrations, and royal feasts at the Renaissance palace grounds.
Visitors can reach Visegrád by regular boat services from Budapest, with the journey taking approximately one hour along the Danube River.
The Solomon Tower in the Lower Castle contains a hexagonal residential area and a water supply system from the 13th century.
