Lonely Planet review for Citadella

The Citadella atop Gellért Hill is a fortress that never did battle. Built by the Habsburgs after the 1848–49 War of Independence to defend the city from further insurrection, by the time it was ready in 1851 the political climate had changed and the Citadella had become obsolete. Today the Citadella contains some big guns and dusty displays in the central courtyard, the rather hokey 1944 Bunker Waxworks inside a bunker used during WWII and a rundown hotel-cum-hostel.
