The renovation of the nearly 10,000 square meter wall surface of the Citadella is progressing well. As a result of the works, the first carefully restored wall section has already appeared on the western side of the northern bastion, it was announced on the Facebook page of the National Haussmann Program.

As they write, the preparation for the construction began with the condition assessment and comprehensive archaeological research of the area. During the work carried out so far, the experts cleaned the building complex and also assessed the condition of the walls and floors. A drainage system following the entire inner line of the fortress wall has also been completed, which will help preserve the condition of the walls in the future.

The post shows that they are currently working on the reconstruction of the northern wall of the fort, the inner facade of the cannon tower and the northern part of the firing hill. As the first spectacular result of the works, the work on a wall section of nearly 200 square meters on the north side of the rondella was completed.

The white limestones from Süttő covering the wall system, and the carved red limestones of Tardos, which close the masonry from above, were covered with a special layer to make them durable. The completed wall section will soon be followed by the entire Danube facade of the Citadel, and then the reconstruction of the Buda facade of the fortress.

As part of the renovation of the Citadel , after the wall reconstruction, the inner courtyard of the fortress will be put in order. The green surface will increase by one and a half times, to 20,000 square meters. A new public park of more than 6,000 square meters will be created inside the fortress wall, which will include a fountain, a lake and a cafe. And in the cannon tower, a spectacular, permanent exhibition presenting the freedom struggles of the Hungarian people will be created on more than 1,700 square meters under the title "Szabadság Bástyája", reports the National Hauszmann Program.
