Királyipalota was the residence of Hungarian kings in Budapest. In the past it was also called Royal Castle. The Royal Palace was built on the southern tip of Castle Hill, next to the Budapest Castle District. There is a restored lower part of the original Medieval Royal Chapel near the Palace. Underground dungeons and other displays can be visited.
The fortification system and palace were built in the 13th century after the Mongol invasion. The Renaissance structures – built on medieval foundations – were destroyed by the Turks. Later, the Baroque Palace burntdown; its reconstructed buildings were damaged during the War of Independence (1848-49). Renovation followed in the 19th century led by MiklósYbl, the famous architect. The enlarged Palace was completed in neo-Baroque style by AlajosHauszmann.
