Muráň Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Revúca District, Slovakia
The stone fortress stands at an elevation of 935 meters on Cigánka cliff, making it the third highest castle location in Slovakia.
The castle, first mentioned in 1271 under Stephen V of Hungary, later became a base for robber baron Mátyás Basó until his execution in 1548.
Martin Bošňák composed The Song About The Castle of Muráň, which tells the story of the castle siege through traditional Slovak verses.
Visitors can reach the castle by following red hiking trails from Muráň village, requiring one hour and forty-five minutes of walking time.
Maria Széchy, known as Venus of Murány, defended the castle against imperial troops in 1670 after leading a resistance against Leopold I.
