Budatower is temporarily closed due to coronavirus protection measure. The oldest building in Kapisztran square is the Mary Magdalene Tower built in late Gothic style, also the only medieval monument maintained in its original form. The building was severely damaged during the 1945 siege of Budapest. The restoration of the Tower as a monument began in 1950, but at the same time, the leaders of the anti-church regime decided to demolish the church. After being closed to the public for decades, Mary Magdalene Tower opened its doors to visitors again in the summer of 2017. The lookout tower on the higher level offers an extraordinary panorama with views to the most important buildings of Budapest and the nearby Buda hilltops. The 15th century building will soon be home to a cultural and tourism centre providing insight into both the Buda Castle and the church, as well as the Midday bell chimes and how it is connected to Hungarian history.

Magdalen(buda) tower opened to the public in 2017. There are approximately 165 steps to the top for fabulous views across the Danube & the 3 cities . A narrow stone spiral staircase takes you up & a degree of fitness is required. Entry costs 1500huf which is about £4. Free with a Budapest card. The history of the area is depicted on the different levels. The bells chime a lovely melody on the hour.
