Magdalene Tower

One of the Castle District’s oldest Gothic monuments and the only medieval church tower still standing in Buda. This was the parish church of the Hungarians; although Joseph II later closed it, his successor Francis I was crowned here.

Trivia

A plaque from 1866 claims the last Árpád-dynasty king, Andrew III, was buried here in 1301—actually, his tomb was in the monastery that once stood where the Carmelite complex is today.

Tip

You can climb the tower—another superb Insta spot.
