Buda Castle Quarter, Historic neighborhood on Castle Hill, Budapest, Hungary.
The medieval district contains numerous buildings from different periods, with narrow streets following the natural curves of Castle Hill at 170 meters elevation.
King Bela IV established the first royal residence between 1247 and 1265, transforming the area into a fortified settlement after the Mongol invasion.
The district houses the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest History Museum, and National Szechenyi Library, presenting Hungarian art and literature through centuries.
Visitors can reach the quarter by taking bus 16 from Deak Ferenc ter or using the Castle Hill Funicular from Clark Adam Square.
