Citadella, located atop Gellért Hill in Budapest, Hungary, is a historic fortress offering panoramic views of the city and the Danube River. Constructed by the Habsburgs in 1854 following the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the Citadella was initially intended to control the city and prevent further uprisings. Today, it serves as a popular tourist destination, featuring the iconic Liberty Statue, which commemorates those who sacrificed their lives for Hungary's independence and freedom.
