The Salamon Tower stands at the riverside on the southern edge of Visegrad, a 13th-century keep that once anchored the lower castle complex at the waterline. Its name derives from a legend — King Solomon of Hungary was allegedly imprisoned here in the 11th century — though historians are skeptical. The tower is the best-preserved medieval structure in Visegrad and displays a small collection of medieval finds from the site.
The Water Bastion adjoining the tower controlled river traffic through the Danube Bend and is now largely ruined, but the riverside setting gives a vivid sense of how the medieval fortifications once connected hill castle, town, and river into a unified defensive system. Worth a stop both for the tower itself and for the views along the river bank. Admission is modest; check seasonal opening hours before visiting.
