Várhegy (Castle Hill) and the Royal Castle of Esztergom have played an important role in the history of Hungarians since the 10th century, after Prince Géza (945-997) chose the hill above the Danube as his place of residence. King Béla (ca. 1020-1063) laid the foundations of the palace complex that is still known today, on the site of the previous castle, built by Stephen I (ca. 975-1038), the first king of Hungary, destroyed by a fire: walls from that time are still preserved. Thanks to the reconstruction works it was possible to save invaluable cultural value and present many historical spaces. For example, you can explore 2,000-year-old archaeological strata across a glass floor. The castle chapel, also known as the pearl of the palace, shows traces of the introduction of Gothic. The details of the fresco with lions emphasized the victorious power of the king, etc. The panorama from the White Tower is impressive.
