<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/liverpoolsuburbia/55609765923/" title="Fishermans Bastion, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55609765923_a48b5b3e92_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Fishermans Bastion, Budapest" /></a></p>

<p>Fishermans Bastion was constructed from 1895 to 1902; and demonstrates the significance of change Budapest experienced in the years following the merger of Buda and Pest to produce Hungary’s Capital city in 1873. <br />
<br />
The architect was Frigyes Schulek who also led on the restoration of the Matthias Church. The design of the bastion is intended to be complimentary to the church while also providing a statement of separation from earlier military uses on this site to one where people come together. <br />
<br />
There are some stunning views over Pest from the Bastion but be advised the better views have been monetised!<br />

<p>Looking south from Gellért Hill we take in the Liberty Bridge and the River Danube. <br />
<br />
The bridge connects Buda and Pest providing a good link from the Central Market Hall and the Gellert Baths. It was built during 1896 to mark the thousandth anniversary of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin. The bridge was originally named the Franz Joseph Bridge but was changed to Liberty Bridge following WW2. The slender curves of the suspension add to its elegance; when on the bridge there are several other embellishments including lions and turul birds which are established features of Hungarian culture. <br />
<br />
In total, the Danube / Donau is around 2800km long and drains a significant area of central Europe before flowing into the Black Sea on the border of Romania and Ukraine. By the time it reaches Budapest, it’s already flowed through Germany, Austria and Slovakia with Vienna / Wein and Bratislava looking on. <br />

<p>Kalman Ter is a significant transport hub in this part of the city and is where tram, bus and metro convene. A public square which is cut into the hill provides a convivial space for this part of the city to breathe. <br />
<br />
During the soviet period, the square was renamed as Moscow Square but this reverted back to it’s original name in 2011<br />

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/liverpoolsuburbia/55608615082/" title="Országház/ Hungarian Parliament Building, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55608615082_fd44527d50_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Országház/ Hungarian Parliament Building, Budapest" /></a></p>

<p> This grand building on the banks of the Danube was designed by Imre Steindl following a design competition in the 1880s. Steindl is said to have taken some inspiration from the UK Houses of Parliament and as such utilised gothic revival design considerations as part of its architecture. One of the reasons for choosing the design was the intention to show the new state of Hungary’s desire to align with the west of Europe and reputedly saw Britain as a role model for how things should be. I’d suggest the building also has some parallels with Vienna/Wein city hall too. <br />
<br />
Work started in 1885 and would take 17 years to complete. Sadly, Imre went blind and died before the building was completed. Today, the building stands as a prominent landmark in the city and is best viewed from the Buda side of the river. <br />

<p>Rising above the city streets is St Stephens Basilica. Opened in 1905, the building took around 50 years to complete. Part of the time taken was due to the dome collapsing mid construction which caused the need to start construction from scratch. <br />
<br />
The height of the building matches the Hungarian Parliament building which is off shot. This is to symbolise equality between religion and state. <br />
<br />
St Stephen was the first king of Hungary and as such is a name of high significance. <br />
