The project transformed the military fortress into an accessible public space featuring new community areas, a large central park, and a redesigned western bastion with glass‑covered architectural elements.
A new permanent exhibition, “The Bastion of Freedom,” now occupies roughly 2,000 sqm of the rondella’s interior, centered around an eternal flame symbolizing collective memory.
The site also includes Hungary’s tallest flagpole and a fully accessible rooftop garden offering 360‑degree views of Budapest.
While the exhibition areas require a ticket, the inner park and most of the fortress will be open free of charge, and the renewed landmark is expected to attract up to 20,000 visitors per day.
