"I see Buda Castle more as an expansive palace complex than a single building: the original 13th-century complex was rebuilt into the huge Baroque palace you see today (1749–1769), it was looted during World War II and afterward, and it even hides a fascinating subterranean side — the dungeon with a labyrinth and the (alleged) 14‑year imprisonment of Vlad the Impaler — plus there are several museums to explore on site." - Matthew Kepnes
