Budapest, the city of places that are World Heritage Sites
Budapest is proud to have two places that are World Heritage Sites, which are independently linked by a road, guiding tourists for the most beautiful sites of Budapest (Buda Castle, Danube Panorama, Jewish Quarter, street Andrássy, Opera, Ballet Institute, Budapest Broadway, Roundabout Kodály, mansions, Heroes’ Square).
Budapest is divided by the Danube in a part of hills and valleys and other flat, one with a unique view, the other showing a capital city with the best location in the world.
Discovering this, the Heritage Committee of UNESCO, in 1987 the rank of the World Heritage region extending from the Chain Bridge (Clark Ádám square) to the University on the bank of river Danube, Gellért baths covers the Gellert Hill with the Statue of Liberty and La Citadelle, as well as all buildings in the Buda Castle.
Pest side are protected by Parliament and Roosevelt Square in front of the Chain Bridge and the Vigadó. The four bridges spanning the Danube found in this space are also part of world heritage (Margaret Bridge, Chain Bridge, Elizabeth Bridge and Liberty Bridge).
The decision of the Committee chose this site because, as said, the bank of the Danube in Budapest well illustrates the different periods in the history of the Hungarian capital, besides being one of the most outstandingly beautiful urban landscapes in the world.
Most residential buildings and public buildings of Buda Castle are now historic monuments. At the heart of Buda Castle is one of the most famous buildings of the city, the church of the great lady, popularly known as Matthias Church. On the walls of the medieval castle in 1903, built the neo-Romanesque Fishermen’s Bastion, which together with the Matthias Church is behind one of the symbols of the city.
