<u>Budavári Sikló</u><br />
The Budapest Castle Hill Funicular or Budavári Sikló is a funicular railway which links the Adam Clark Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge at river level to Buda Castle above. <br />
<br />
The line was opened on March 2, 1870, and has been in municipal ownership since 1920. It was destroyed in the Second World War and reopened on June 4, 1986. A feature of the line are the two pedestrian foot bridges which cross above it. These were present when the line opened, were removed in 1900 when the castle's garden was extended, and rebuilt to the original design in 1983.<br />
<br />
The line is operated by the BKV (Mass Transport Company of Budapest), and operates from 07.30 to 22.00 each day and is subject to special fare. <br />

<p><b>Magyar Nemzeti Galéria</b> 30/03/2026 19h08<br />
The twilight set in as we walked along the Magyar Nemzeti Galéria (Hungarian National Gallery). The Hungarian National Gallery (also known as Magyar Nemzeti Galéria) was established in 1957 as the national art museum. It is located in Buda Castle in Budapest, Hungary. Its collections cover Hungarian art in all genres, including the works of many nineteenth- and twentieth-century Hungarian artists who worked in Paris and other locations in the West. <br />
<br />
<u>Buda Castle</u><br />
Buda Castle (Budavári Palota), formerly also called the Royal Palace (Hungarian: Királyi-palota) and the Royal Castle (Hungarian: Királyi Vár) is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest. First completed in 1265, the Baroque palace that occupies most of the site today was built between 1749 and 1769, severely damaged during the Siege of Budapest in World War II, and rebuilt in a simplified Baroque style during the state communist era. Presently, it houses the Hungarian National Gallery, the Budapest Historical Museum, and the National Széchényi Library. <br />

Hollókő Castle stands on a volcanic hilltop in northern Hungary above the UNESCO World Heritage village of Hollókő. The original fortress was built in the 13th century following the Mongol invasion of Hungary, and it later became an important stronghold of the region. Despite periods of destruction during the Ottoman wars and later conflicts, the castle has survived as one of Hungary's best-preserved medieval hilltop fortresses.</p>

<p><b>Mária-anya szobor</b> 30/03/2026 18h58<br />
The Mária-anya (Mother Mary) statue is a four-meter-tall bronze sculpture in Budapest, Hungary, depicting the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. Mounted on the southern Cortina wall of Buda Castle (near the Vízhordó-lépcső stairs, above the Várkert Bazár), overlooking the Danube River and Pest. Erected in 2013 and sculpted by László Mátyássy, with architecture/design by László Váncza.<br />
 Instead of physically holding the child, Mary extends her hands in a protective gesture, making the infant Jesus appear to float before her to represent the mystery and miracle of the incarnation. [ various sources ] <br />
