Monastery of St Lawrence at Buda, Church ruin and monastery in Budapest District II, Hungary.
The Monastery of St Lawrence features stone foundation walls and architectural remnants situated between Hárshegy and János Hill in Budapest.
Construction of the monastery commenced in 1301 with support from Charles I of Hungary, and the site housed the remains of St Paul until Ottoman forces destroyed it in 1527.
The monastery served as a center for religious manuscripts, where monk László Báthory translated the Bible during his twenty-year residence from 1437 to 1457.
Archaeological preservation work continues at the site, with carved stones from the monastery integrated into the spring house at Város-kút for public viewing.
The body of St Paul, transferred from Venice to the monastery in 1381, established the location as a major pilgrimage destination throughout medieval Hungary.
