Hey dear Hive community, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new post and hope you have a week so far which is full of interesting experiences! Today I have decided to share a travel experience and I am happy when you can learn new things.
This special building is also known as Fisherman's Bastion and is located right near the castle and for anyone who should be there, I can recommend connecting these two visits. From the bastion, visitors have a breathtaking view of the whole city and it's probably one of the best viewpoints, which is why thousands of visitors are here every day and also the history of the building is really interesting and even if it was only constructed during the 19th century, the name goes back to the breeding of fish in past cultures. It was specially dedicated to the fishermen of the Middle Ages who had fed the whole city with their work and once in this area at the wall was probably the place of residence of the fishermen and also the architecture can amaze people because here various elements or epochs were united with each other. A part of the Fisherman's bastion is free to visit and the others requires a separate ticket which cost about 1500 HUF which corresponds to about 4$ and also already from the lower part which is accessible free of charge a unique view can be enjoyed, but the extra ticket should be bought if you want an even better one and want to enjoy the trip to the fullest.
As far as I have noticed, there are no special opening hours and pretty much the whole area is accessible around the clock and there is also a restaurant about which I can't say anything because I wasn't there, but it seems to have been very crowded and if you want to visit it, you'd better remember to reserve a table. Incidentally, it's also a world heritage site and hardly any other place in the world can admire such an extravagant architecture and the recognition value is particularly high in this work designed by the architect Frigyes Schulek (1841 - 1919). There is also an interesting story to tell about the towers and these are supposed to represent different tribes of the Magyars which are a people who lived in Hungary in earlier times and each of the tower is supposed to be associated with its own tribe. Even if it may be visible in the pictures, a large part of the Bastion was destroyed during the Second World War and it should take some time until these parts were restored, but the city gave it a high priority at the time because this building is one of the most important cultural treasures of Hungary. Of course, the weather plays a major role during a visit and if you want to make the best of the excursion, you should definitely pay attention to a clearer weather in order to enjoy the best view and people who have a problem with stairs should keep in mind that not every part is barrier-free accessible.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about Budapest! I captured these pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.

It is still looking modernised and not looking old
That's true, it's hard to believe that it was once partly destroyed.

it is very nice and not very old because it's very well kept!
It was also renovated as I mentioned in the article, since a part of it was destroyed.
Yep but overall in great conditions!
Any old buildings like this or places like this are much more beautiful and memorable.
That’s true! Have you been there before? :)
Which are historical places in our country in our city, I keep going there.
Great that you are also interested in culture
