8 Architectural Buildings in District I / Buda That You Shouldn't Miss

August 20, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

Matthias Church

Used over the centuries as a coronation church for the Hungarian kings, the slender and graceful architecture of this beautiful church dominates the main square of the Castle area.

Reviewed By Moonamuslim

A very nice church on the Buda side at the Fisherman's Bastion. Worthwhile and full of history. Easy to reach, either on foot, by taxi, or by bus (bus line 16; Szentháromság tér stop). You also have a great view from the Pest side on the banks of the Danube. Visit this place once during the day and once at night. Worth it The Matthias Church (Mátyás-templom) - officially: the Church of the Great Blessed Virgin of the Buda Castle (Budavári Nagyboldogasszony templom) - on the castle hill of the Fisherman's Bastion is a must when visiting Budapest. The facade and roof of the church, which is predominantly Gothic in style, are beautiful. The roof decorated with colorful glazed roof tiles is unique. Inside the church there are decorative paintings, magnificent frescoes and stucco decorations, as well as wonderful stained glass windows. The interior is created in a mixture of Gothic style and Art Nouveau. The neo-Gothic main altar of the Matthias Church is adorned with dark gold. However, the story that belongs to this wonderful church is also fascinating, sometimes sad at the same time. First built in the 13th century in the Romanesque style, the basilica was then converted into a church in the Gothic style. Under the Ottoman rule, all the sanctuaries were destroyed and the church converted into a mosque. After the almost complete destruction, the church was built in baroque style. Later it served as the coronation church for Franz and Sisi, the Hungarian royal couple. Before it was badly damaged again in the Second World War. You have to go there, when visit one of the most beautiful cities of Europe!

Many interesting exhibits - including very rare (due of course, to conditions) piece of silk. Also details of different digs written by the lead archaeologists. You can't take a backpack but can take a small bag and you would need to pay an extra charge if you want to take photographs
