Mária Magdolna-templom
13th-century Franciscan church was used by Hungarian speakers. Under Turkish rule, this was the only church allowed to remain Christian: all others were converted into mosques. During the Allied Siege of Budapest of 1944 several bombs hit the building. However, the real destruction of the Church was not by the war but the "restoration" of the 1950s: the church building was demolished by the anti-church communist regime. Only its bell tower and the side chapels escaped from the destruction. Only one stone window has been rebuilt as a memento. Today the tower is used as an observation tower. There is a 24-bell chime in the tower.
Hadtörténeti Múzeum
It was established in 1918 from the museum objects collected in the Budapest Military History Archive together with Hungarian military historical monuments. The Museum is located in the west wing Ferdinánd Barracks, which was built in 1847 in Classicist style. During World War II, two-thirds of the museum’s collection was destroyed. After the World War II, the collection started to grow significantly again, today its weapons collection contains more than 50,000 museum objects from small arms, machine guns and other military equipment. The museum's military uniform collection contains more than 30,000 items, of which about 300 are complete garments. A precious memory is the five thousand-piece flag collection and the 28,000-piece medal collection. It also has a collection of books, fine arts, photographs, stamps, posters and prints.
Sziklakórház Atombunker Múzeum
It's a hospital created in the caverns under Buda Castle in the 1930s, in preparation for the World War II. Dr. Károly Szendy, the mayor of the Hungarian capital, ordered the construction of an emergency hospital and reinforced bomb shelter under Buda Castle. Construction began in 1939 and the emergency surgical centre was completed in 1944. Its primary role was to provide general emergency care for injured civilians, later on they treated soldiers as well. The hospital was staffed by approximately 40 doctors, nurses, and assistants together. The hospital tunnel system was connected to an existing tunnel network by manual labor. In recent times, the hospital has been made into a museum, complete with waxwork recreations of hospital treatments and day-to-day scenarios during the siege. Access to the museum is limited to guided tours. Old equipment that was left over from its operational days is available for sale, including stretchers, gas masks and civil protection uniforms.

It was built around 1260 and was merged from several early Gothic, medieval dwellings in the 18th century to construct the current Baroque building. It functioned as the first tavern of the Buda Castle. Also, the first theatre performance of Buda was held here. In front of the building is a statue of Pope Innocent XI made by József Damkó in 1936.
