Also on Bécsi Kapu Tér is the entrance to the casemate in the Győr’s ramparts on the right ban of the Rába.
There had been walls protecting the episcopal palace on Káptalan Hill since the reign of King Stephen I at the start of the 11th century, but these took on added importance in the 16th century when Győr’s was the most powerful fort in a line of defences protecting the approach to Vienna against the Ottomans.
These walls were laced with casemates, and stuffed with firepower.
