Visegrád Castle, Medieval castle complex on Várhegy Mountain in Visegrád, Hungary.
The castle includes an Upper Castle with defensive walls, a Lower Castle featuring the Solomon Tower, and a Royal Palace near the Danube River.
Following the Mongol invasion of 1242, King Béla IV ordered the construction of the fortress, which later became the royal residence of Hungary in 1325.
The castle exhibits collections of medieval weapons, royal hunting practices, and holds the Holy Crown exhibition displaying Hungarian coronation regalia replicas.
The castle remains open daily from 9:00 to 18:00 during summer months, with adult entrance fees at 2,500 HUF and student discounts available.
The Citadel terrace provides views across the Danube Bend, where three separate sections of the river merge into a single course.
