The historic Visegrád is set in surpassingly scenery country,
where verdant hills come down almost to the water's edge. The
strategic importance of this potential bottleneck at a hairpin
bend in the river has been evident at least since the 4th century,
when the Romans built a fort here.
Most of what remains is left to your imagination, though to
give a better idea of the whole palace, some areas have been
reconstructed. The terraced palace is dug in, up and down the
hillside, part of the landscape.
