Dark Gate

The Dark Gate was excavated in 1824, at the same time as the Esztergom Church, and it is a long tunnel located under the artificial slopes of the hill castle and connecting the yeshiva and the church houses. It is 90 meters long and follows the line of the former eastern walls of the castle, and is characterized by its neoclassical style. It includes a barrel vault, and was completely renovated in 2006. Contrary to its name, today it is illuminated with incandescent lamps, which attracts many visitors to walk through it.
