Budapest - Kapisztrán Square Kapisztrán tér

Kapisztrán Square is situated in the northwest of the Castle Quarter. It is named after a companion of the Turkish conqueror János Hunyadi. On the northwest side of the square stands the Museum of Military History (Hadtörténeti múzeum). On the southeast side there stood, until it was destroyed in the Second World War, the Church of St Mary Magdalene (Mária Magdolna templom; 13th-15th C); unfortunately only the Gothic tower now remains.

On the southwest side of Castle Hill run the battlements named after Árpád Tóth. From here there is a fine view of the western parts of Budapest and the Buda Hills.
