Tartalom

This volume invites the reader to a journey around the Palace of Buda Castle from its foundation to our current times, presenting the persons and achievements that have been pivotal to the development of Hungary's capital. The book describes the heydays of a Castle complex that is closely intertwined with Hungary's history. It outlines periods of peace and culture, and takes account of the destruction of wars. The publication also guides readers through difficult decades of rebirth when both the country and the Palace were rebuilt.
The Buda Castle and the Royal Palace are important symbols of Hungary's sovereignty. In their heydays, they witnessed decisions influencing the country's future, and they often served as an important venue for European power plays. These acts were promoted by the spirit of the Royal Court, with its readiness to embrace the latest cultural achievements and set remarkable examples for others. And in times when Hungary was occupied by foreign forces, the towers of the palace signified a hope for a better future when Hungary would regain control of its destiny.
The Palace of Buda Castle is a joint heritage of Hungary and the entire world. Its ongoing renovation leads the way into the 21st century.
