Today, it serves cultural and tourist purposes. One of the most magnificent sights of Budapest is Buddha castle with its many monuments which is internationally unique and a part of world heritage. The castle hill rises 60m above the banks of the Danube providing a marvelous view either of the river and -- or Gellert Hill. The castle used to be the residence of Hungarian sovereigns for centuries though intermittently. Today, it serves cultural and tourist purposes. The Szechenyi national library, the Hungarian state archives and the board of monumental buildings are all located here. The castle theater and several museums such as the military history museum, the Budapest historical museum, the institute of music and the Hungarian national gallery are also situated here together with the museum of commerce and catering and even a museum of pharmacy. Entering the castle district through the Viennese gate, first we catch sight of the evangelical church of Buddha castle then passing the colossal palace of the state archives, we reach the ruins of Mary Magdalena Church. The garrison chapel built 750 years ago was destroyed during the Second World War and only its tower survived. There's a garden of ruins behind it. The -- side of the 1.5km long castle district is a pleasant promenade. The houses originate from various historical eras and represent different architectural styles yet create an entirely harmonious impression. Thanks to the careful renovation of the monuments, several houses have partially or wholly regained their medieval look. From under the plasterwork of the baroque or classicist buildings, medieval fragments, window frames or column capitals are showing. The characteristic feature of the houses here is the gothic niche with seat. Opinions vary with regard to its purpose. Nevertheless, it is likely that guards used to use it as a resting point.
