Devín Castle
Devín Castle is a hilltop fortress on a limestone cliff at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers near Bratislava. The site was fortified from prehistoric and Roman times and later developed into a medieval stone castle with a palace and a pre‑Romanesque church; it was partly destroyed in 1809 and has been subject to excavation and restoration. Today the site is a museumized ruin with reconstructed sections and visible archaeological remains.

As it stood in 1600
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a jagged pale limestone crag, the castle presents multi-level curtain walls and terraces climbing the cliff, with ruined rectangular tower remnants at the summit. The masonry is light-grey local stone laid in irregular courses; many walls step down the rock in terraces with visible stair runs and narrow embrasured openings. A tiny separate watchtower (the Maiden Tower) sits on a lone rock below the main enceinte. Open courtyards and fragments of palace walls occupy the flatter terraces.
