<p>Budavári Palota (Buda Castle) was first raised in 1265 as the home of the Hungarian monarchy, although the massive Baroque palace that occupies most of the site today was built between 1749 and 1769. A modernist reconstruction plan initialized by István Janá in 1950 was subsequently modified by Jan Zachwatowicz in 1952. The palace was rebuilt by 1966, with exterior details demolished, facades simplified and a modernist dome, designed by Lajos Hidasi was added in 1961. The interior was gutted, but not renovated completely until the 1980s. Today, Buda Castle is home to Magyar Nemzeti Galéria (Hungarian National Gallery), which was established in 1857 as the national art museum.</p>

<p>Adria-palota (Adria Palace), at Erzsébet tér 9-10, was built from 1914-1918 as the headquarters of the Adria Insurance Company. It was designed by architects Móric Pogány and Emil Tőry in a "Late Historicist" style that leaned toward Neoclassicism. Following World War II and through the Communist era, the building served as the Budapest Police Headquarters. It was converted into a hotel in 2000, operating first as Le Méridien Budapest and then as The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest (2016–2025). In January 2025 it was rebranded as the Al Habtoor Palace Budapest. The facade is adorned with "insurance" motif allegorical sculptures designed in 2003 by Sándor Rétfalvi and István Fáskert to replace damaged originals.</p>

<p>Dohány utcai zsinagóga (Dohány Street Synagogue, בית הכנסת הגדול של בודפשט), also known as nagy zsinagóga (The Great Synagogue) or the Tabakgasse Synagogue, is the largest synagogue in Europe, seating 3,000 people. During World Word II, it served as the physical border of the Budapest Ghetto. The synagogue was built as the flagshipp of the Neolog (Reform) movement between 1854 and 1859 to the Moorish Revival design of Viennese architect Ludwig Förster. The twin-towered brick edifice features a striking façade of yellow and red geometric patterns, topped by two copper onion domes rising 43 meters. The interior reflects the Neolog (Reform) movement's cathedral-style layout, housing a three-aisle nave, two levels of galleries, and a pipe organ situated behind the ornate Torah Ark.</p>

The interior, designed largely by Frigyes Feszl, reflects the Neolog (Reform) movement's cathedral-style layout, housing a three-aisle nave, and two levels of galleries. A monumental silver domed Tóraszekrény (Torah Ark, Aron Kodesh) covers the entirety of the eastern wall. In a departure from tradition, the bimah (reading platform) is located in front of the ark rather than in the center of the building. Behind the ark, is the grand organ---a unique hallmark of the Nelog branch. And positioned over the sanctuary is the main dome.</p>
