Looking up at the citadel and the statueLots of interesting looking buildings
On Castle Hill – A town exists up there with a church, hotels that look like they would be fun to stay at, a castle/palais, tunnels, and more!
They gave you lanterns to go through this labyrinth of tunnels and part of it is pitch black. There were many diversions and so I was glad there was a nice Indian Family nearby that was talking or I might still be in there!! Dracula was imprisoned here! There were also torture chambers! EEK.Matthias Church on Castle Hill. It was originally built in Romanesque Style in 1015, although the current building was constructed in the florid late gothic style in the 14th century and restored in the 19th century. It was the second largest church of medieval Buda and the seventh largest church of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom (Wikipedia)
fisherman’s bastions – is a terrace in neo-gothic and neo-romanesque style situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on the Castle Hill. Built between 1895 and 1902 (Wikipedia). It does look fairytale like and the views ….
