Veszprém

Also known as the town of queen consorts, Veszprém is built on seven hills. Its historical and architectural heritage stretches back to the Hungarian Settlement and the town is the intellectual and economic centre of its region.
Veszprém lies on the borders of two geographical regions: the Balaton Uplands (Balaton-felvidék) and the Bakony Hills. The River Séd carved deep valleys into the terrain here, hence Veszprém's other name: 'the town built on seven hills' - each with its own name.
The town is also known as the town of queen consorts, which began with Gisella, St Stephen's wife. The establishment of Hungary's first and oldest cathedral is connected to her name. The bishops of Veszprém had the privilege of crowning the queen consorts, and they wore the office of the chancellery of queen consorts. The town nurtures fond memories of Gisella: the arts and science festival of the Gisella Days begin on her name day each year in May.
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.

Hallo George!
Here I like especially the buildup and the numerous details one can detect. The light really is wonderful and it creates a somehow solemn atmosphere. The white cross in front of the dark background - very skillful!
Greetings from sunny and warm Germany!

A very clever composition with the castle on top and the houses at the foot of the cliff
and the church in the far background to the right creates depth !

Hello George,

You chose a very well angle maybe I would for a horizontal picture choose, but I know not as this can without disturbing elements.
The rocks in foreground show the depth of the edges, I like the buildings in background, also the quality and sharpness are superb.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Hello George,
There is a very pleasing harmony to this lovely composition. The superb point of view and vertical format suit each other perfectly. The whole benefits from a lovely light producing some beautiful soft colours. Great clarity completes a fine image.

Nice composition from this beautiful place. The composition, with those persons in the foreground, is very nice.

Szia George,
the steep slope of rocks is well presented from that POV. A superb position for a castle and good view around. The warm light and good sharpness are pleasant, the rock in the foreground is a great opening.
