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 />
