The creation of the most beautiful city location of the world was not a fluke. The Danube flows through it, next to the Gellért hill provided an excellent opportunity to cross the river and the region, thanks to the mountains, served very well to defend and settle.
Once, in the ages 6 and 3 BC, near the Gellért hill tribes living around eraviscas of advanced culture, who farmed iron, decorated their earthenware pots and even printed currencies. The Roman Empire was established in Aquincum, the city in the area where it is today Óbuda, Old Buddha, and there was also the Roman legion, defending its lengthy border, “limes”, along the Danube .
Hungarians also occupied homeland, they attributed to this region of great strategic importance where worthwhile to establish their centers. It is interesting that the city at that time, on both sides of the river was called Pest, which some scholars is a word of Slavic origin, means oven, actually referring to the hot springs that are below the Gellért hill. Already in the royal decree of 1232 appears with this name.
The Buddha’s name appeared only after the invasion of the Tartars, when by order of King Béla IV. began to build throughout the length and breadth of the country’s strengths, setting an example for this work the same king, who in ancient Pest Újhegy called since Várhegy – Castle Hill – built his royal palace. He himself gave privileges to the first settlers here in 1244 in a letter sealed with gold, the development of agriculture and trade.
