Fisherman Bastion - Halaszbastya, Budapest: 161 reviews and 323 photos
This section of the rampart of the old wall faces Pest.
The Fishermen's bastion is located above the fishermen's village of olden times and a fish market was still being regularly held beside the church in the 1830s-hence the name of the bastion.
After defeating the Hungarians in the 1848/1849 War of Independence, the Government of Vienna had all the bastions on Castle Hill pulled down. The present terraced promenades were built on their old foundations in the beginning of the 19th century. With its five neo-Romanesque roofed towers and a sixth, multi-level main tower, all in white limestone, the Fishermen's Bastion is a fine vantage point.
