Fisherman's Bastion

This neo-Gothic fantasy resembles a fairytale castle with seven towers representing the seven Magyar tribes that settled Hungary. Built in 1905 as a viewing platform, this architectural whimsy offers the most spectacular panoramic views of Pest's skyline. The romantic terraces and turrets create perfect photo opportunities while celebrating Hungary's founding legends.
