Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Visegrad was the first building of a hill palace on the banks of the Danube, built by the rulers of the Anjou Dynasty after their victory in the battle for the throne. That said, most of this Gothic complex was built by Nagy Lajos I in 1370. The castle was destroyed during the Turkish rule, used as a quarry in the 18th century, and was later buried by the water and soil that fell from the mountain, so that for a long time it was only known from historical written records that it once existed. The excavation began in 1934. The first unearthed was the courtyard of the palace. In the courtyard were the remnants of the Well of Hercules in the Renaissance style customized by King Matthias according to the Italian model. Emblem of the sponsors. Interestingly, the architectural style of the palace has a dual nature: the palace is mainly Gothic, but the various decorations about the Matthias kings reflect the Renaissance style of Italian court artists. The upper castle was built in the mid-13th century to defend against the invasion of the Tatars, and around the same time the lower castle, known as the Minaret of Cholomon, was built. From the ruins of the Royal Palace on the Castle Hill, you can overlook the Danube Bay, which is picturesque. From here, you can also see the peaks of Bergeny on the other side of the Danube and the medieval-style houses in the city of Nagy Mauros.

Hungary is a beautiful country, many cities have attractions, Visegrad is one of them. There are also many famous tourist places in northern Budapest, and it is necessary to come to Hungary to travel to Eastern Europe.
The architectural style of the palace is twofold: the palace is mainly Gothic, but the various decorations of King Marghash reflect the Renaissance style of the Italian court artists. The castle was built in the mid-13th century to defend against the Tatar invasion, and the castle, known as the Spire of Shalom, was built almost the same time. From the castle hill the palace ruins a bird's eye view of the Danube, picturesque, from here you can also see the peaks of Bergeni on the other side of the Danube and the medieval houses of Najimaulosh.
Tickets seem to be 1400 or 2100 Hungarian money, now it is a ruin, you can see the turn of the Danube, the scenery is good, there are few people going in winter. The entire Visegrad scenic spot is almost so up the mountain and circle.
Very worth visiting and learning place, very rewarding.
It should be a place where locals like to travel with the whole family. I met many families with children along the way. It can be regarded as historical education. The castle is not very high. From the wooden escalator, I went up to the height point and went down the hill along the slope on the other side. The scenery is good all the way. Looking back, I found that the wooden plank road that went down the mountain was hanging in the air in the middle of the sky. I was still a little afraid. There were not many tourists everywhere, and it looked quite empty. Sitting on the bench at the foot of the mountain, looking up at Caiyunbao, it was quite old.
This morning was another cloudy day, and the tour guide also said that winter came here, most of them were such weather, there was no way, and the tone was helpless and a little depressed. Drive all the way to Visegrad, gradually, the fog was up. Then there seemed to be sunlight looming, a little excited. After that, the closer to the destination, the fog grew bigger and bigger, and the whole big sun was unfolding before our eyes when we went up the mountain. The tour guide said that it was a big explosion of our character. The sun is so bright, the mood is suddenly good. And the scenery of the Caiyun Castle on this day is a rare encounter. After climbing the castle, there is a very, very thick cloud and mist. You can't see the Danube River and the village under the mountain at all. It seems to be in a fairyland. This different scenery is really rare in a thousand years. The castle is also full of broken walls, very historical, and there are some showrooms to visit. The most exciting moment is here! Rainbow! There is a rainbow over the castle! ! This day is worth it, I really want to be grateful for everything that has happened, and remember these beautiful moments firmly.
This small town occupied a military and political importance from ancient times. On the top of the bar, the Great S Bend of the Danube was in front of you, and when you turned it, the Danube became the national boundary, on the other side of Hungary, on Slovakia. Faced with the flying tricolor flag, it seems that you can feel how the soldiers in the castle in the face of the army are sworn to defend their homeland. Overlooking the Danube from here is another scenery.
