Fisherman's Bastion
@whereissibley
Halászbástya (hol-larse-baash-tia)
The Bastion was built for the celebration of the Hungarian State's 1000th birthday! Construction began in 1858 and finished in 1902, building up off of an existing castle wall from the medieval period. The architect responsible for the structure you see today (Frigyes Schulek) was also in charge of the restoration of Matthias Church!
Many historians believe that this section of the old wall was defended by the Guild of Fishermen (halasz), "In peace, they would fish, and sell their fish on the fishmarket up in the castle, in war time, they would climb up to the Castle, and take their due part in protecting their home town, Watertown (Vizivaros)." - fishermansbastion.com
Fisherman's Bastion is free to visit.

@whereissibley
"The composition titled 'Shoes on the Danube Bank' gives remembrance to the 3,500 people, 800 of them Jews, who were shot into the Danube during the time of the Arrow Cross terror.[2] The sculptor created sixty pairs of period-appropriate shoes out of iron. The shoes are attached to the stone embankment, and behind them lies a 40 meter long, 70 cm high stone bench. At three points are cast iron signs, with the following text in Hungarian, English, and Hebrew: "To the memory of the victims shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross militiamen in 1944–45. Erected 16 April 2005." -

Central Market Hall
@whereissibley
One of the most impressive market halls in Budapest, the Central Market Hall opened in 1887! The building was badly damaged during WWII and restoratio nwas not completed until the 1990's. My favorite thing to do on arrival to any new city (after dropping of my luggage at my accommodation, of course) is to go to a local market to grab supplies for a picnic! Gellert Hill is only a 10 min walk from the market and would be a magical picnic spot.
