<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>This black marble plaque, installed in 2018, marks the location where one of the few remaining functional water taps existed during the final, brutal months of the Budapest Ghetto. As the city was besieged and infrastructure collapsed, access to clean water became a matter of life and death for the 70,000 Hungarian Jews imprisoned within the ghetto walls. The plaque notes that this specific tap, located in the cellar of the house, provided a "chance for survival" against the starvation and dehydration exacerbated by the Arrow Cross terror.</p>
