Buda Castle
Buda Castle is the historical royal palace complex on Castle Hill in Budapest that has housed the Hungarian kings and today contains major museums and a national library. The site includes a long Baroque palace block with a central dome, extensive fortified retaining walls down the hillside, and the surrounding Castle Quarter with churches and government buildings.

As it stood in 1769
The shape it held in its prime.
A long U-shaped Baroque palace with a central, copper-clad dome rises from a broad terrace on the southern tip of Castle Hill above the Danube. The main block is a continuous three- to four-storey stone façade punctuated by regular rows of tall sash windows, a central columned portico and low mansard roofs with green patina. Massive pale stone retaining and curtain walls descend the steep hillside to the river; the Chain Bridge and riverside buildings sit before the terrace.
