Fishermen's Bastion

It is one of the best known monuments in Budapest. The original walls were built in the 1700s, forming part of the walls of a castle. Several historians say that in the Middle Ages this part of the castle walls was protected by the guild of fishermen, who lived under the walls in the so-called Fishtown or Watertown. The current structure was built between 1895 and 1902, in Neo-Romanesque style, on the base of a stretch of the Buda Castle walls. Since 1987 it has been one of Budapest's World Heritage Sites as part of the Buda Castle District.
