Visegrad is a small town in Pest County, Hungary. It is located north of Budapest, on the right bank of the Danube River, and has a population of 1,600.
Visegrad is known for the remains of the Renaissance palace of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus and the medieval fortress.
The name Visegrad has Slavic origins and means "the upper fortress". An interesting fact is that there are cities with the exact same name in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine.
The town has a key historical significance in the 14th century, when a two-month congress between the kings of Poland, Luxembourg and Hungary took place here. This was crucial to creating peace between the three kingdoms and ensuring a united alliance between Poland and Hungary against the Habsburgs in Austria.
Visegrad lost its political significance after the collapse of the Kingdom of Hungary - exactly after the Battle of Mohács in 1526. In addition, to this day, Hungarian politicians sometimes manage to organize meetings on the territory of the city.
