One of the most well-known structures of Budapest is the Halászbástya, or Fishermans Bastion, which is situated in the first district of the city next to Buda Castle. Due to the distinctive view of Budapest that can be seen from the Neo-Romanesque viewing terraces, it is one of the most significant tourist destinations. The infrastructure of the Fishermens Bastion is roughly 140 metres long, with the southern aisle being about 40 metres long, the northern aisle being about 65 metres long, and the elaborate centre parapet being about 35 metres long. Its seven steeply pitched stone towers represent the seven Hungarian chieftains that helped found Hungary in 895 A.D. The old walls, which were once a portion of a castle, were constructed in the 1700s. According to several researchers, the guild of fisherman or halász, who lived under the walls in the area known as Fishtown or Watertown, guarded this portion of the castle walls throughout the Middle Ages. Architect Frigyes Schulek, who was also in charge of restoring the Matthias Church, constructed the current building between 1895 and 1902 in the Neo-Romanesque style at the base of a section of the Buda Castle walls. It has been a part of Várkerület District of Budapest, or Buda Castle District, since 1987 and is one of the World Heritage Sites of the city [Information Credit : Fishermans Bastion, Wikipedia; Wikipedia-Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman%27s_Bastion ] [Image: Fishermans Bastion in Budapest, Hungary; Crdeit: Zhenning SHI, Pexels; (Kindly Relate to Individual Source Image URLs for More Usage Properties) [Image-Source-Link : https://www.pexels.com/photo/fishermans-bastion-in-budapest-hungary-12463748/ ] #Architecture#Castles
