Long range of the Fisherman's BAstionby BruceDunning
It really is not old-but does commemorate the fisherman who defended the city from attacks in the old days; like 1300-1500 era of times. This wall and towers/turrets were build over 1901-1905. Also called Halazbastya in Hungarian. The complex is great and the statue of Charles III is in the middle to monument him. The fishermen were said to have used this spot as a defense against intruders more than once and saved the city from occupation.
Address: Castle District (Varhegy) in Buda
Directions: It can be reached by the Castle bus (Varbusz) from Moszkva ter.
