Visegrád is a town of Hungary located on the the Danube.

One can regard the military camp of the Hill of Sibrik as the Roman ancestor of the town of Visegrád ( Pone Navata ). The bastion, little populated and then given up, was occupied by the military forces of Géza in the Années 970. In 1009, the first source written mentions this chief town founded by holy Stephan. The system of fortification was set up after the invasion of the Mongolian around 1250 - 1260 by Béla IV and his wife, the Marie queen.

The palate is used as residence of countryside to the Hungarian kings until the Turkish invasion of 1544.

Following successive wars with and Turkish occupation, Visegrád almost entirely fell in ruins. The ruins of the royal palace were described in 1587 by a traveller, Reinhold Lubenau. The old city finds life as a village of German colonists with.
