I wrote last year about the Fisherman's Bastion -
a place that left a bright mark in my memory during my trip to Budapest. In this post you can see the legendary bastion in color and enjoy the magnificent views of Budapest from above. And today I want to present to your attention some shots in black and white.
The Fishing bastion is one of the most amazing architectural landmarks in all of Budapest, striking with its grandeur and snow-white beauty. Unique arches, windows, terraces, towers attract and fascinating of tourists who want to learn the secrets hidden in this fabulous structure. Travelers walking the bastion can think of themselves in the past centuries and feel like a hero of a historical film. This amazing place has become a great viewing platform with incredible views of Budapest.
Why this is the name of the building is interesting for travelers. This is due to the fact that many local fishermen were working in the central square in the bastion. Of course, during this period there were many attacks, so the residents had to protect the fortress. It was fishermen who got this part of the wall of the bastion square and they were ready at any moment to abandon the trade and stand up for the city. The building was demolished during the war, but was later restored. It is because of its rich history that in 1987 UNESCO's Fisherman's Bastion added it to the World Heritage List.
The Fisherman's Bastion stands on one of the highest places in the Hungarian capital, the Serfdom Mountain in Buda. The view that opens from this fortress causes you to catch your breath and remember the beautiful picture before your eyes - the majestic Danube River, a city with many bridges, small streets...
