Budapest - Fishermen's Bastion Halászbástya
|
|
On Castle Hill, at the spot where in the Middle Ages the fishermen had their defense installations, the Fishermen's Bastion (Halászbástya) was built behind the Matthias Church between 1895 and 1902. Its towers, colonnades and embrasures, which were designed in Neo-Romanesque style by Frigyes Schulek, were renovated a few years ago. From the bastion there is a magnificent view over the city and the Danube.
In the north courtyard of the bastion stand two pleasing statues of the monks Julianus and Gellért, by Károly Antal (1937).
