Fisherman's Bastion

"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.

Originally the Fishermen's Bastion was part of the city walls of Buda and had a defensive function. In fact it took its name from the neighborhood of the fishermen, who intervened in case of need as defenders of the bastions. Their seven towers commemorate the seven founding tribes of Hungary.
