Hospital in the Rock

Kilometres of natural caves run beneath Castle Hill. Before the Second World War an emergency hospital was set up in them, which during the siege of Budapest in 1944-45 treated far more wounded than it was built for, and it was used again in the 1956 revolution.

During the Cold War it was refitted as a secret nuclear bunker. The tour goes through operating theatres, wards and ventilation machinery, with wax figures and original medical equipment, and explains the fear of nuclear war.
