right|thumb|Castle hill right|thumb|Christian Museum (Hungary)|Christian Museum Víziváros (meaning Watertown, , ) is a neighborhood of Esztergom, Hungary on the right bank of the Danube, under the royal castle and the St. Adalbert Primatial Basilica. The name Watertown derives from the numerous hot springs in the area.
Víziváros was established by Matthias Rátót, Archbishop of Esztergom in 1239. The town fell under Ottoman rule in 1543. Apart from a 10 year period between 1595 and 1605 it was finally taken back by Christian forces in 1683. During those 130 years, the Turks built baths, religious buildings and re-enforced the castle. The Öziçeli Hacci Ibrahim Mosque on Berényi Zsigmond street is the oldest still standing mosque of the Ottoman Empire along the Danube.
