As a Turk who knows pretty much about Hungarian culture and history, it has been my dream to visit that location in order to see some pieces from my history. This castle was conquered by Turks in battle of Mohacs in 1521. In sultan Suleyman’s command, the Ottoman army prevailed in approximately 3 hours and captured this castle. While staring at Danube river from the terrace of this castle, you can see the Ottoman Empire’s furthest border in its golden era. There are many other stories about this lovely castle which I can’t tell here. If you’re interested in Turkish history, don’t miss this castle if you visit Budapest.
