From fortress
to community space

The peak of Gellért Hill has undergone a remarkable transformation: in place of the former military fortress, a vibrant cultural hub has been created. As part of the reconstruction, within the walls of the former western cannon tower, the Bastion of Freedom has opened—an impressive, 1,700-square-metre historical experience space that brings defining moments of the past to life through interactive storytelling.

With its immersive visual world and modern technology, the exhibition presents the Hungarian struggles for freedom, as well as the stories of heroes and sacrifices, revealing the hidden layers within these historic walls. More than a traditional exhibition, it offers an emotional and engaging journey that helps visitors understand the true depth of our nation’s desire for freedom and identity.

The renewed Liberty Statue stands above the city in a dignified setting, surrounded by newly landscaped green spaces and modern promenades. The meeting of historic walls and contemporary architecture, together with carefully maintained greenery, makes the Citadella one of Budapest’s most exciting new destinations, where respect for the past and modern relaxation go hand in hand.
