Veszprém - Castle Hill 05 (View from Benedict tip) ultrawide
The castle of Veszprém was built in the X-XI. centuries on one of the seven hills, Castle Hill. A wall encircling the steep slopes of the hillsides as a remainder of the former fortification, where historic buildings rose step by step stand today. The visitor should not look for a classical medieval, thick-walled stone building, but instead this place is surrounded by a whole quarter of ancient atmosphere and spirit as he crosses Heroes' Gate ...
In the meantime, the castle district, which has been given a Baroque look, concentrates most of the city's attractions. In addition, great viewpoints and important program venues await the enquirer.
Turning westward from the already entered Heroes' Gate, you will find the Fire Lookout Tower, one of the city’s symbols, which was originally raised to protect the gate, from the height of which you can glimpse the town and look into its everyday life. Walking down the only narrow cobblestone street of the castle, you will be surrounded by magnificent Baroque buildings on both sides, once built on medieval castle walls.
