[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
English:
Designed by architect Frigyes Schulek and built in 1905, the white-stoned Fisherman’s Bastion is described as a combination of neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque - full of turrets, projections, parapets, and climbing stairways.The Fisherman’s Bastion is made up of seven towers - each one symbolizing one of the seven Magyar tribes that came to Hungary in 896. Some describe the building as almost “Disney-esque” – a fairytale-like structure that conjures up thoughts of Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. Still, it seems to be in sync with the style of the Church of Our Lady and complements the church, which was the intention of the architect.

Hi, Jose, this object is nice (it is called Fisherman's Bastion), but there is quite big noise in the sky...
