Official site

Citadella

The Citadella is the fortress on top of Gellért Hill, built by the Habsburg army in 1851–1854 after the 1848–49 revolution, beside the Liberty Statue of 1947. After a renovation it reopened in 2026: the park, the walkway on the walls and lookout terraces are open to all, and the western gun tower holds the exhibition The Bastion of Freedom.
