BUDA CASTLE<br />

The history of Buda Castle dates back to the Medieval<br />

period. Construction began in the mid 1300s, the<br />

golden age in the time of King Matthias Corvinus. The<br />

early central palace was severely damaged in the battles<br />

against the Turks, but later, thanks to the initiative of<br />

Maria Theresa, it was renovated in a majestic baroque<br />

style. Unfortunately, the palace fell victim to the Second<br />

World War, and at present it does not retain any parts<br />

which would reflect the luxury of the bygone kings.<br />
