Víziváros

Víziváros (meaning Watertown, Latin: Civitas Archiepiscopalis, German: Wasserstadt) is a neighborhood of Esztergom, Hungary on the right bank of the Danube, under the royal castle and the St. Adalbert Primatial Basilica.

The town fell under Ottoman rule in 1543, and it was only taken back by Christian forces in 1683.

During that 140 years, the Turks built baths, religious buildings and re-enforced the castle.

[1][2] After the siege of 1683 reconstruction of the town began, but during Rákóczi's War for Independence it was destroyed in the winter of 1705–1706.

The Christian Museum was founded by archbishop János Simor in 1875, when he opened his private collection of religious art to visitors.
