Buda Castle is distinguished by its copper-green dome that rises high above the southern tip of Castle Hill. It is a vast palace complex that has stood on this strategic limestone outcrop since the thirteenth century, when King Béla the Fourth first commissioned a fortress to protect against Mongol invasions. Over centuries, the site shifted from a medieval royal residence into the grand Baroque-style palace that dominates the skyline today.
