For many years the church has also served as a venue for concerts, oratories and symphonic performances.

Here, in the 13th century after Mongol tribes had invaded Hungary, the residence was built for Hungarian kings. The Royal Palace was destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout its rich life. The "Red Heat" movie (1988) featuring today's California governor was filmed in Royal Castle: its stone paving resembles the Red Square paving.

Funicular was built in 1870, but destroyed later, during WWII, and rebuilt only in 1986 according to the original plans.
The Funicular is not only fun, it also takes you to the Castle Hill, the most popular attraction of Budapest.

The Castle Hill also know as Castle District and Budai vár is one of the most popular tourist attractions. It has a long history and teems with museums, churches, monuments and statues. The Castle Hill is located in prestigious I district of Budapest, known for its high real estate prices. Its architecture slightly differs from the main trend one sees in the city's lowland. The only shops here are those offering souvenirs, postcards, Hungarian pottery, tablecloths and leather articles. But the place is stuffed with restaurants and cafés of every sort and kind. Also, view of the city is much better from here, than from Citadella (Gellért Hill).
