There was this map on a wall on Uri Utca on top of Castle Hill...

... a map of the Budavári Labyrinth, its entrance here.

Interconnected tunnels like these were erected throughout castle hill.

Mysterious stone blocks in the oldest tunnel.

Strange wells and metal gates in the floor.

This formation of stone blocks in one room.

All the stones had writing on them.

Cave drawings.

More winding tunnels. It was actually a lot dimmer than this (this is a 15-sec exposure)

More rooms

More drawings on the walls.

Statues everywhere

More of the labyrinth

A long tunnel with arch supports.

Something interesting...

... a wine fountain.

Wine fountain

Another room with some sort of symbol and another statue.

A hallway full of spears and what look like crude statues of soldiers

A cross.

Looking through the chains.
