Inteteresting Building and Monuments of Budapest

With its multifarious history, incredible architecture and rich cultural heritage, Hungary’s capital has the justly deserved sobriquet of ’the Paris of Central Europe’, set apart from other Hungarian and European cities by its beauty. The city straddles a gentle curve in the mighty Danube River, the Buda hills rising dramatically on the west bank, while the Pest side marks the start of the Great Plain to the east. The largest Hungarian city, Budapest is the heart, soul and memory of Hungary, with the Danube coursing through its veins.

around the Castle District between the two entrances – Bécsi kapu tér and Dísz tér. Major sights: Matthias Church Fishermen’s Bastion, tower of Mary Magdalene Church.

The current uniform Baroque appearance had emerged by the mid-18th c. The restored Castle District is a cultural, arts and tourist centre.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY INSTITUTE (Földtani Intézet) XIV., Stefánia út 14.

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 19:04:49 +0000

The Hungarian style plus art nouveau palace was built in 1898-1899. The brick ornamental braids, the steep roofs covered with blue glazed tiles and the frontispiece lend a bizarre, fairy-tale like look to the building. On the roof top three figures hold a globe on their backs. Particularly beautiful is the fence.
