<p> This square on the south eastern side of the city centre was once the Széna Market (Hay Market) on the edge of the old city. In earlier times the Kecskemét Gate stood on this site. The square became a notable intersection in the city and still holds that importance to this day with the meeting point of trams, buses and the Metro. In the 18th century this prominence was marked by the presence of several hotels and inns which fronted onto the market place. The gate would be removed in 1794 when the city of Pest gradually expanded beyond its mediaeval city walls. <br />
<br />
The Reformed Church has stood here since 1830 and is a notable building on the square with it’s belfry tower. <br />
<br />
The prefix Széna would be swapped for Calvin in 1874 after the French reformist John Calvin who led the Protestant Reformation in Geneva; the name would be later adapted to fit the Hungarian language. <br />

<p>Forming part of the Grand Boulevard, József Körút divides the palace district (which we are looking into) from the 8th District. The boulevard was laid out in 1896 to commemorate the first millenia of Hungary and as such is lined by many opulent buildings which are mixed residential and commercial. <br />
<br />
Many of these buildings will feature courtyards, some of which feature stunning architecture. I would recommend taking a look at No62 in the links below.<br />

<p>This was the view from my hotel window out over Boraros Ter to the Petofil Bridge and Buda. From some angles, you could even spot the Citadella. <br />
<br />
Boaraos Square takes its name from the first mayor of Budapest and marks the southern end of the Pest Grand Boulevard. If this window existed 100 years ago, a grain elevator would have blocked the view of the river. The grain warehouse was built in 1883 and was of brick construction and was the work of a Viennese architect Keresztély Ulrich. <br />
<br />
The grain elevator would stand for many years until it suffered damage in WW2. The decision to demolish the building was taken in 1947 however due to the building’s robustness, it would take 13 years to clear the site. <br />
<br />
A park now lies in it’s place and provides a good open space for residents and visitors to take in the lower reaches of the Danube in the city. <br />
<br />
The two trams 4 and 6 run from the Buda side and follow the grand boulevard around to then cross the river to the north of the city. The Petofil bridge was originally constructed in the 1930’s after a lengthy campaign to see a crossing installed at this site. The original bridge featured a memorial to the Austro-Hungarian Sailors who lost their lives in WW1. The bridge would go on to be blown up by German troops at the end of WW2 and required reconstruction. The bridge you see here was opened in 1952. <br />
<br />
Boraros Ter is a significant interchange between bus and tram with other tram routes running north/south along the river and buses running inland to other suburban districts. Local rail service H7 also terminates here. <br />

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/liverpoolsuburbia/55611724011/" title="Blaha Lujza Square, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55611724011_77c0925139_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Blaha Lujza Square, Budapest" /></a></p>

<p>The junction of József Körút and Rákóczi út is marked by Blaha Lujza Square<br />
<br />
The square used to host the National Theatre from 1908 in a building dating from 1875 with and as such was named after Lujza Blaha, a famed Hungarian actress. The theatre was demolished in obscure circumstances in 1965. Some say due to an uprising but others say to accommodate the construction of Metro Line 2. <br />
<br />
Corvin Palace, second building on right, dates from 1926 and was a department store set up by Max Emden, a retailer from Hamburg. The department store was one of the most prestige in the city. This came to an end in WW2 and again during the Hungarian Uprising in 1956. The building would subsequently see cladding wrap around it and the final closure of the department store in the 1980s. The building then became a focus for nightlife with a club opening; the ruin bars are only a stone's throw away and so the club would become popular over the years. <br />
<br />
The nightclub finally closed in 2018 and a lengthy renovation commenced. The wraparound cladding was removed to reveal the original facade you see here and the interior was re-purposed to host a range of shops and offices. A roof terrace is now a contemporary feature of the building. <br />
<br />
The square itself was a car park up until 2023 before being significantly overhauled to the space you see here today. It certainly felt like a hub of activity and a place to meet before venturing off into the heart of the city. <br />

<p>Some of the smaller streets behind the main routes feature some beautiful buildings set amongst a tree lined view. <br />
<br />
Reviczky Utca sits within the Palace District of Budapest and features some notable buildings including the Wrenkheim Palace of 1887. It has been in the hands of the city since the 1930s and is the city’s largest library. The site has been used for filming ranging from Spy (Mellisa McCarthy/Jason Statham) to Red Sparrow (Jennifer Lawrence/Jeremy Irons) <br />
<br />
The street itself has seen several name changes over the years and has only been Revicsky Utca since 1990. Previous names have been Ziegelofen Gasse (Brick Furnace Street), 1740s: Steinbrucher Gasse (Steinbrucher Street), Kleine Frühling Gasse (Little Spring Street), from 1804: Frühling Gasse (Spring Street), from 1850: József Street <br />

<p> Forming part of the Grand Boulevard, Szent István runs between the Margaret Bridge at the Danube to Nyugati Station which can be seen in the background. <br />
<br />
This section of the boulevard was renamed Szent István krt in 1937 having originally been called Lipót körút after the neighbourhood it ran through. This naming convention is common along the rest of the boulevard. <br />

<p>Impressive domed buildings bookend where Rákóczi út leaves Blaha Lujza Square to head off to Keliti Station, one of Budapest’s main rail stations for international travel. Road geeks may be interested to learn this was Budapest’s first traffic light controlled intersection in 1926.<br />
<br />
The building with the steeple is the New York Palace. Originally built as the headquarters of the New York Life insurance Company the building is now an opulent hotel. <br />

<p>Marlow is home to a 19th Century suspension bridge which spans the River Thames. This was designed by William Tierney Clark and was built between 1829 and 1832. <br />
<br />
A larger version of this bridge was then constructed in Budapest, spanning the Danube, which I had walked over just a few weeks ago.<br />
