budapest day 2

 we  had   such a  lovely   day   and we decided to  go  on  foot  to  Dunave river and  visit the castle district ..on our  way  we stoped for our first  treats of course i am  talking about the kortoskalacs

The  Fisherman's bastion is a terracesituated on the Budabank of the Danube on the castle  hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church.
From the towers and the terrace a panoramic view exists of Danube, Margaret Island, Pest to the east and the Gellért Hill.
Its seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin in 896.
The Bastion takes its name from the guild of fishermen that was responsible for defending this stretch of the city walls in the Middle Ages. It is a viewing terrace, with many stairs and walking paths.
A bronze statue of Stephen I of Hungary mounted on a horse, erected in 1906, can be seen between the Bastion and the Matthias Church. (from wiki)
