Budapest Castle Hill Budapest Castle Hill is the earliest old city in Budapest, and it is like a huge museum that shows the history of Budapest's urban development and the past of the Hungarian nation. The castle hill is dangerously situated on a hill 167 meters above sea level on the banks of the Danube. It was obviously built out of the need for war defense. The most famous attractions of Castle Hill are: Holy Trinity Square, the central square of Castle Hill, which stands a Trinity memorial column, also known as the "Plague Pillar", which was built by the residents of the Old City in the 18th century to commemorate the elimination of the Black Death. The Church of the Fisherman, the white Fisherman's Castle, is a neo-Gothic building built at the beginning of the last century on the foundations of the original medieval city walls. The seven minarets of bunkers represent seven tribes of the early Mazars of Hungary. Standing on the city of Fisherman's Fort, the Danube flows quietly from the foot, the Parliament Building on the other side, the various buildings along the river, the lush Margett Island and the mountains in the distance, making people feel refreshed. No wonder it is recognized that the Fisherman's Castle adds a lot to the landscape. The bronze statue between the church of Marghash and the Fisherman's Castle was crowned in 1000 AD, the founder of the Hungarian state and the first Hungarian king, St. Istfan. The southern end of Castle Hill is occupied by the grand old palaces. Just see the bullet-scarred and crumbling old palace gates that have not been repaired, and imagine the historical ordeal of this famous palace in Europe. Castle Hill is free and open all day, and the tour time is about2-3 hours. It is also a great place to see the scenery of Budapest and the Danube River, and the night view is also very beautiful.
