Photographer’s Note

Buda Castle as seen from Citadele fortres

The Buda Castle (Hungarian: Budai Vár) is the historical castle of the Hungarian kings in Budapest, Hungary.The Buda Castle is part of the Budapest World Heritage Site, declared in 1987.
The foundations of the castle, which would later be besieged no less than 31 times, Royal Palace, Budapestwere laid in the 13th century after Mongol tribes had invaded Hungary. King Béla built a keep surrounded by thick walls in 1243 on a site which was previously occupied by a small farming community. Around the keep, a small town called Buda started to grow. During the Reign of King Lajos the Great, the keep was fortified and a palace was built. Later, during the reign of Sigismund of Luxembourg (1387-1437), the castle was again expanded, resulting in one of the greatest palaces in Europe.

Hi Tanja

This is a good photograph showing the achitecture of this wonderful city. I was there in May last year and I really enjoyed the Buda Castle area.

It is a pity that the big mast is built on the hill as this spoils the historic setting of the city......that's not your fault tho'

greetings again from Scotland
