Normafa is a popular tourist sight in the Buda Hills.
It is located in Svábhegy [hu], a part of the 12th district of Budapest.
Allegedly the beech tree was planted by King Matthias Corvinus in the 15th century.
The name reflects an on-location performance by opera singer Rozália Klein Schodel and performers of the Hungarian National Theater in a rendition of the Cavatina from Vincenzo Bellini's Norma.
The height of the mountain is 477 m. It connects Svábhegy and János Hill with a long but narrow plateau (Normafa fennsík).
