Description

The Royal Palace of Visegrád is a building complex erected between the 14th and 15th centuries in Visegrád, which initially served as the permanent seat, and later as the country residence, of the contemporary rulers of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, until the destruction wrought by the Ottoman occupation. The building today houses the Matthias Corvinus Museum of the Hungarian National Museum.
