Buda Castle
Buda Castle Hill has been an important landmark in Hungarian history since ancient times. After the Mongol invasion in the 13th century, the Hungarian king built the first fortress on Buda Hill. Later, the king of the Angevin dynasty transformed the fortress into a luxurious Gothic palace, which became the royal residence, making Buda the quasi-capital of medieval Hungary. In the 15th century, King Matthias I renovated the palace and built the first Italian Renaissance-style royal palace in Europe, ushering in Buda Castle's golden age. The Corvina Library is located inside the palace, and it was the library of King Matthias. The building may have been inspired by the simultaneous reconstruction of the 15th-century Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. It is one of the most famous libraries in Europe, bringing together some of the most outstanding scientists and artists, and serving as a thriving center of knowledge.
