Description

Under Buda Castle Hill runs a network of tunnels and caves, known as the the Hospital in the rock. During WWII, they served as an air raid shelter and as part of this, an emergency hospital was created. As well as treating both soldiers and civilians, it was also enhanced to withstand a nuclear attack. Today, the Hospital in the Rock is a fascinating museum allowing an insight into some of the country’s most turbulent times.
