In the 15th century, Visegrád had one of the largest Renaissance palaces in central Europe, that of King Matthias Corvinus. It was buried and rediscovered in the 20th century; today the Mátyás Király Museum shows the restored courtyards and terraces, the chapel, the royal kitchen and the Hercules fountain, beside the riverside road, at the foot of the citadel.
