Several of Budapest's most important attractions are concentrated in the Castle Hill, such as the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, as well as the Buda Palace, where the kings lived in the past, and the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, opposite the Buda Palace, on either side of the Castle Hill.

Joseph and his wife took Fang Yun to take the cable car up the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, there were many tourists, and they needed to queue up, everyone obeyed the order very much, and there was no queue cutting.

Trinity Square is the central square of the Palace Hill, on which the Trinity Memorial Column is erected, and next to the square is the church named after the coronation and wedding of successive kings, Matthias Church.

Matthias Church is located in the center of the castle hill and southwest of the Fisherman's Bastion, is the main building on the castle hill and the most representative church in Budapest, formerly known as the Church of the Virgin Mary, built by King Bello IV from 1255 to 1269.

Matthias Church was originally built in the 13th century by order of King Béla IV in the Church of Our Lady of Buda, and was later renamed after the wedding of King Matthias of Hungary and Queen Beatrice here in the 15th century, and it is also the place where the Hungarian king was crowned.

Since the 13th century, it has been renovated many times, and after the change of dynasties, Matthias Church was changed from the earliest Catholic church to a mosque during the Turkish occupation, and then added Baroque and Neo-Gothic architectural forms to restore it to the Catholic church.

Perched on Castle Hill, the Royal Palace of Buda is one of Budapest's landmarks and was once home to the Hungarian royal family, and the central part of the palace has been converted into the Budapest History Museum, the National Library of Hungary and the National Gallery. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Speaking of the history of the Buda Palace, Joseph was extremely emotional.

"The Buda Palace was built in 1242 on the west bank of the Danube River by King Béla IV of Hungary to defend against Tatar invasions. It was rebuilt in 1930 and then suffered from the catastrophe of World War II, and was bombed beyond recognition by artillery fire, and the palace that we can see now was restored after the war in 1950. ”

When Fang Yun stands in front of this palace, he can feel the vicissitudes of history, and the architectural style is a combination of Gothic, Renaissance, Turkish and Baroque architectural styles, and it seems that you can vaguely see the fate of the Buda Palace gradually forgotten past glory.

The palace is imposing, with a façade supported by Greek-style Corinthian columns, a red-and-white façade, a baroque green dome at the top, and a statue of the Turul bird from Hungarian mythology at the entrance.

"It was carved in 1896 to commemorate the 1,000th anniversary of the Hungarian settlement, and legend has it that the Hungarians came here to lead the way with the Turul bird flying in front of them, and the eagle spreading its wings and holding a sword of Attila in both feet, with the divine power to conquer the world," Joseph said. ”

The Matthias Fountain in front of the palace is also very eye-catching, neo-baroque fountain style, there is a young and handsome man at the top of the statue, and a hunting trophy stag at his feet, and a beautiful beauty at the bottom right, Fang Yun asked Joseph curiously.

Joseph said: "This is a beautiful legend, you China has the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, we Hungary have the story of the king falling in love with a peasant girl, according to legend, the king Matthias fell in love with a peasant girl when he was hunting, after learning the true identity of the two sides, their status is very different, there are many obstacles between them, they can't let them be together, they have to be separated, and finally die of depression." ”

Just like wishing Yingtai can't be with Liang Shanbo, this kind of tragic story makes the plot more tense, praising beautiful love, and finally turning into butterflies is people's wish for this hard-working couple, hoping that there will be lovers in the world who will eventually become married. ”

The beautiful scenery of the blue Danube River makes the city more prosperous, walking in the Buda Palace, you can see stone pavement, street lamps and architectural styles still have traces of the Middle Ages, along the palace to see the scenery along the Danube, it seems to have a kind of healing magic, as if standing here any bad mood can be swept away.

Many of these buildings have been converted into museums and galleries, and in the Budapest History Museum, which showcases the essence of Budapest's thousand-year-old history, the remains of the 14th-century royal palace in the basement of the museum, as well as the history of the evolution of the imperial palace architecture.

Declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, the Renaissance patina dome leads to the façade of the main building, which is now planned as the National Gallery of Budapest, with more than 100,000 paintings from the Middle Ages to the 20th century Hungarian paintings and sculptures, as well as the Habsburg catacombs and paintings of the Turkish War displayed in the lobby on the first floor.

"To the left is the Hungarian Parliament building and the Chain Bridge, and to the right is the Gellert Hill, where you can see the Liberation Monument in the distance. ”

"You can take the cable car up the mountain like we just did, but there are more tourists, you have to queue, or you can take a bus directly up the mountain next to the big roundabout, but you can just enjoy the Chain Bridge and the Basilica of St. Estherine directly in front of you, and there are a few restaurants below the castle hill where you can enjoy the Danube. ”

"The neoclassical building next to the cable car station is the Sandordo Palace, the official residence of the President of Hungary and the president's office.

Leaving the Buda Palace, Joseph took Fang Yun and walked in the direction of the Fisherman's Bastion at the other end. On the way, we passed through the Budapest Underground Labyrinth, which is a 1,200-meter-long limestone cave that connects large and small caves and wine cellars, which existed as early as 500,000 years ago, was used as a refuge during World War II, and is now planned as a museum, and is also one of the "Seven Underground Wonders of the World".

The alleys leading to the Fisherman's Bastion are home to a number of restaurants and independent shops, which were built in 1905 as a fish market by fishermen to protect their interests.

The Fisherman's Bastion is surrounded by beautiful surroundings and has a bird's-eye view of the whole city of Budapest. Today, Fisherman's Bastion is an important place for Budapest citizens to take a leisurely stroll after dinner, especially for couples.

The cloister has a great vantage point, and the bronze statue between the Matthias Church and the Fisherman's Castle is the statue of the first Hungarian king, St. Istvan I, the first Hungarian king and the founder of the Hungarian state.

The Hilton Hotel next to the Fisherman's Bastion, the outer layer is a brown curtain glass, reflecting the reflection of the Fisherman's Bastion and the church on the side, beautiful and charming, if you want to see the night view, you can book a room in this hotel, the view at night is very beautiful.

"We have already gone to a few attractions today, there are other attractions, I will take you there later, let's find a restaurant to eat first, and then go down the mountain, I invite Miss Fang to live in my house and visit the elderly with me, I haven't seen my family for a while. ”

"Okay!" Fang Yun readily agreed.
