Description
The first release in the series Hungarian Castles.
The Castle of Visegrád is a fortress located in the Danube Bend, in the city of Visegrád. The Visegrád mountains extend all the way down from the rocky crags to the banks of the Danube. The Medieval castle played an important political and military role in Hungarian history all the way until the end of the 17th century, when its military significance declined.
