Mary Magdalene church is one of the main monuments at the Castle hill. Its construction began in 1248 as a church but it was later transformed into a mosque by the Turks in the 16th century. In the years 1874 – 1896 it was transformed back, but some details have not been preserved. Its roof is now covered with the colorful glazed tiles. After the 2nd World War, the church was almost completely destroyed except tower and gate.
The Citadel, which sits atop Gellert Hill, was constructed by the Hapsburgs following the failed Hungarian War of Independence. It was thought that its prime strategic position would make it easy to control both Buda and Pest, should any future uprisings occur. Troops were stationed at the Citadel until 1897. Soviet forces once again used the fortress to control the city during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, and tanks which were situated there fired down on the city.
