Castle of Siklós (Castle) (Siklós)

The castle of the city Siklós is one of the most kept mediaeval castles in southern Hungary. Here the walls are not ruined by Turkish guns and the Austrian Emperor Leopold I, the castle is not puffed up like he did with many other Hungarian fortresses along the border. All the beautiful and valuable parts are preserved since 1294: windows of medieval times, beautiful balconies from Hungarian Gothic castle chapel from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Renaissance gate with drawbridge and castle baroque castle. The castle is a masterpiece of medieval Hungarian architecture. From the eighteenth century are the showrooms with a prison museum, a collection of stone sculptures and an exhibition about the glove industry of Pécs. In the sanctuary of the church, archaeologists uncovered beautiful fifteenth-century Gothic frescoes.
