Labyrinth of Buda Castle
The Labyrinth of Buda Castle was part of the cave system under Buda Castle. It could be visited until 2011, but is now closed.
It first gained international reputation in 2000, when it was ranked among the 50 most interesting places of the world, thanks to the program “Labyrinth of Lanterns”. It was among Budapest's Top 10 most famous and visited cultural attractions, and has been called one of the seven underground Wonders of the World.〔(Underground Wonders of the World )〕
== History ==
The unique calcareous tuff caves of the Castle Hill were created as an effect of the hot water springs at the dawn of the history of the Earth. These caves then served as refuge as well as hunting ground for the prehistoric man (the “Hunter of Buda”) appearing half a million years ago. For economic and military purposes these originally smaller caves were interconnected and eventually connected to the cellarage of the Castle District's houses. It was used for wine-cellars, torture chambers, jails or treasury during the Middle Ages. The cellars were turned into a shelter and military hospital in the 1930s. At that time the whole cave system could accommodate about ten thousand people at a time. Reinforced – and also disfigured – with concrete, it served as a military installation during the Cold War.
In the short interceptions of military utilization and especially since the end of the Cold War, there have been initiatives to turn the labyrinth to cultural uses. A cave museum opened then reopened, and in the early 1980s, the first exhibition of wax figures in Hungary was set up here. However, none of these fulfilled the expectations: the time of wax works and of history closed in vitrines was up. The widely known exhibitions and programs of the Labyrinth of Buda Castle of 1984–2011 are no longer available but they labyrinth is currently open and can be visited.
