Castle Gate, Veszprem Photo

Photographer’s Note

Castle Gate

The heros's gate knew a building on a name in 1936 it was raised the old one, he was destroyed on the place of a castle gate. The I. remained using pillars. it was built upon the heros's of a world war memory.
Currently (in the tourist season) mineral exhibition can be observed here, from his terrace a wonderful view overlooks the city.

Veszprém

Veszprém with 59,000 inhabitants lies in the central Transdanubian region, at the meeting-point of the Bakony Hills and the Balaton Uplands.
The history of the city goes back to the Hungarian settlement of the country in the ninth century, when Veszprém belonged to the estate of the ruling family; it became the City of Queens thanks to Giselle, the consort of Hungary´s first king, St. Stephen and in 1001 it grew to be one of the most significant centres of the Catholic Church as the bishop´s seat. Historic documents mention St. Michael´s Cathedral, situated in the castle surrounded by wonderfully preserved baroque buildings, as the first and oldest cathedral in the country. The Catholic Church has remained a vital force in the life of Veszprém as our city has been an archbishopric since 1993.
Veszprém is known for a vivid cultural life throughout the year. Three theatres and a whole series of festivals provide entertainment to inhabitants and visitors alike all year round. Besides the cultural events and the historic sights you can find here the Kittenberger Kálmán Botanical Garden and Zoo Park of well-deserved European fame.
The castle was built in the 10th-11th centuries on one of the seven hills of Veszprém. The castle district later gained a Baroque character. Most sights, including excellent lookouts and important cultural venues, are clustered here.

The encircling wall that embraces Castle Hill is almost the only remaining testament to the former fortress. There are, however, an abundance of historic buildings here in the castle district. Giselle, the first Hungarian queen consort, established Hungary's oldest cathedral. That building was destroyed but its Romanesque-style foundations and Gothic sanctuary and undercroft were integrated into the neo-Romanesque St Michael's Church. The chapel named after Giselle is a famous work from the Árpád Age architectural era and has a Gothic mural.

Bonjour George,
une porte d'entrée fortifiée vers une ville au look tranquille et propre.
Un cadrage bien pensé, même sil il coupe pas mal de cette porte qu'on aurait aimé voir d'avantage.
Best regards.

Hello George,
an impressive, well composed scene. The details are quite amazing. The point of view is effective, allowing the eye to wander further along the arch till the old buildings . Great framing by the arch and superb colour saturation especially in the sky. Bravo.
All the best.

Szia George,
a very warm view through the gate with good patterns on the pavement and wall. The green tree and the people there add a lot of life. I am not sure about the colours, might a touch too strong.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf
