Raven Gate – Where Beggars Once Gathered

This modern wrought-iron gate by architect György Vadász and sculptor Pál Kő was inaugurated in 1995. Did you know? The gate’s name refers to the raven (corvus) in the Hunyadi family coat of arms. Matthias adopted the Latin surname Corvinus from this emblem—a raven holding a ring.

Trivia

The medieval gate here was known as the Beggars’ Gate, where alms-seekers were allowed to gather; after 1541 it served as an entry to the palace area.
