Welcome to Budapest
at the foot of Buda Castle!
The Buda Castle Quarter is a part of Budapest's 1st district known as the Castle, an ancient area of the city of Buda. Since 1987, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List under the name Buda Castle District. It is one of the most important cultural and tourist sites in Hungary, and the most significant group of monuments. Several of the buildings in the castle district are significant landmarks in their own right. The construction of the Budavári Palace, one of the symbols of Budapest, began in the 1300s and is located on the southern side of the castle district. Today, the building functions as a complex, modern cultural institution. The first palace was built by Róbert Károly's younger son, Prince István of Anjou. During the reigns of Louis the Great, Sigismund and Matthias, the residence of the Hungarian rulers was expanded and decorated.

Bécsi kapu tér is one of the important centers of the Buda Castle, the streets crossing the Castle Quarter meet here. In the Middle Ages, it was also called Szombathely, Saturday market place and Saturday market, because a market was held in the square every Saturday. According to popular tradition, all kinds of weapons were once hanging on the square, they were thought to be the weapons of Miklós Toldi, but in the 18th century they somehow disappeared. Around 1868, it reached its shape, which is still visible today, and in 1874, it received the name it is still known today. There are several more important buildings on the square, such as the Vienna Gate, the Hungarian National Archives or the Evangelical Church in Buda. The memorial fountain of Ferenc Kazinczy is located in the middle of the square.
