It seems that today I will finally master the last part of the almost two-year-old Marleson ballet, i.e. a story about Budapest in the summer of 2009. I can't even believe it - it was a global trip, judging by the photo parts that I went through. :)
The last part will be devoted to cathedrals, temples and churches, which are countless in Budapest. Although, probably, as in any other European city.
About the main cathedral of Budapest - the Basilica of St. Stephen, so I'll start with the other most important cathedral of the city, towering on the Castle Hill - the Church of St. Matthias.
Unfortunately, when I was in Budapest, the building was almost entirely scaffolded, which hid the main beauty of the cathedral.
The first church on this site was erected as early as 1015. During its history, the church was rebuilt many times, was conquered by the Turks and turned into a mosque, recaptured, and between 1874 and 1896, a large-scale reconstruction of the building was carried out under the direction of the architect Fridesh Schulek, the main goal of which was to bring appearance churches to the original Gothic look of the 13th century. During the reconstruction, a number of surviving medieval fragments were discovered, which were built into the new building of the temple. In the church of St. Matthias held the coronations of the last Hungarian monarchs (the Habsburg dynasty), including Franz Joseph I and his wife Elisabeth.

We will continue to walk around the old town on the top of the Buda Hill.
Opposite the Matthias Church is the ugly huge building of the Hilton Hotel.
The ruins of a 13th-century Dominican monastery and part of the church with the Miklós tower are part of the hotel. How do you like this neighborhood of styles? :)

There, on the Castle Hill, is the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, or rather, what was left of it after the bombings during the Second World War. And there is not so much left - the bell tower and one Gothic window, which rises above the foundation. Looks pretty unusual.
Bell tower.

Foundation.

Also part of the church, but I don't remember which one...

The Baroque Church of St. Anne on the corner of Bathany Square is one of the most beloved churches in Budapest. Well, at least that's what the guidebooks say. The church is rather strange, in my opinion... some guidebooks write that the architect is unknown, others call the architects K. Hamon, M. Nepower. Above the entrance are sculptures symbolizing Faith, Hope and Love. But, to be honest, I was more attracted by the Masonic symbol between the towers... For some reason, the Internet is silent about this detail of the exterior of the church...

Calvinist-Reformed Church on the banks of the Danube.
There will be a wedding here.

Now let's move on to Pest. There is another very unusual Calvinist church here. Address: Városligeti fasor, 5-7 [Varosligeti Fasor]. It is decorated with colorful tiles in the Hungarian national style, both outside and (according to the guidebook) inside. It was built in 1913, and its design combines Hungarian and Finnish motifs. The portico is decorated with ceramic tiles in the Hungarian folk style.

And this is the Lutheran church on the same street. Her address is Városligeti fasor, 17 [Varosligeti Fasor]. The church was built in neo-gothic style in 1905.

Church of St. Elizabeth of the Arpad dynasty. Here I walked already on the very last day, a few hours before flying home.

Opposite the church is the square of roses. It is not easy to call it that, roses really bloom here. :)

Some small church directly opposite.

The first parish church of Pest - the Church in Belváros, is located on south side Marciusz square.

The elegant Baroque church of St. Anne towers stately over historical square Batthyani, although everything went to the fact that this ancient part of Buda would remain without the usual dominant. Its construction was begun by the Jesuits in 1740, and it was completed only in the next century - the Catholic order had already ceased to exist, and architectural styles others dominated. Subsequently, the temple suffered from floods and fires more than once. In the middle of the 20th century, the church was in such a terrible state that it was intended to be demolished to lay the subway line. But - still preserved and restored. Now the church of St. Anna is one of the most beautiful on the left bank of the Danube.

What to see

Temple, perhaps main monument Baroque in Budapest. The church is made according to the canons of the unique "Danube school", so the impression that you have already seen similar ones in the Czech Republic or Slovakia is not deceptive. This style is characterized by a three-level facade with an abundance of details, but in the church of St. Anne there are even more of them. Above the main portal there are three statues, symbolizing faith, hope and love, and a little higher in a niche is a sculpture of the Virgin Mary. Between the towers, right in the middle - a triangle with an all-seeing eye, "guarded" by two angels and the old coat of arms of Buda. Another feature of St. Anne's Church is its two patina-covered bell towers. They are exactly the same, even the clocks on both show the same time.

St. Anne's Church is famous for its excellent acoustics and organ, so classical concerts are often given within its walls.

Inside the church is also impressive - it combines authentic decoration of the 18th century and new details that have appeared in our time. The gilded altar, created in 1773, is decorated with skillful marble columns, icons and a sculptural group "Entering the Temple". A small dome is covered with frescoes made already in the 1930s.

Great Synagogue, St. Anne's Church, F. Liszt Museum, Mammoth Shopping Center, sights and interesting places Budapest, scheduled to independently visit today. The weather is hot this summer, so walks along the pedestrian streets are overshadowed not by rain, but by the hot sun. The itinerary of the day was drawn up the night before, it did not take into account only where we would have a snack. Since we had no recommendations, and there are enough cafes around the city, the decision is made on the spot based on our desires. In the morning it was decided to swim in the pools.

The museum occupies a small part of the palace, it presents the things of Hungarian writers, almost all under glass. I liked one exposition, where the heroes of the 19th century seem to be talking to each other (in Hungarian).

Concerts are also held in the palace, but this is already in other halls.

The weather was good, so it was possible to take a walk: we turned onto Szerb unca and walked along it to Vaci utca,

On the way we visited the church Angolkisasszonyok Temploma at Vaci utca 47/b.

It was built sometime between 1700 and 1765. Further along Vaci utca we reached Szabad sajto utca, i.e. came to Ferenciek tere square.

On the way we stopped at the Hungarian Heritage House and also looked at the Calvinist Church / Szulagyi Dezso ter reformatus templom. This church is unusual in architecture and its interior decoration.

Then we reached Batthyany ter Square, went into Church of St. Anne/Szent Anna template. This church has a beautiful baroque interior.

From Batthyany ter square, take the subway to Szeil Kalman ter to the Mammut shopping center. I liked this shopping center most of all both for its design and for the shops that it has. Lots of restaurants, near the market where you can buy fruit.

In the evening we walked along the other part of Vaci utca and the Danube embankment.

Cave Church in Gellert Hill is one of the caves located under Gallert Hill. It is known that the cave was used as a shelter in ancient times. But due to all sorts of wars and population changes, historical objects that have been here for thousands of years have not been preserved in the cave.

Once upon a time in the Middle Ages, a hermit named Istvan lived in the cave. According to legend, he could treat people for diseases with water from a cave source. Today, this water is destined for the Gellert Baths, which is on the other side. Subsequently, Istvan was colonized, and the cave became known as St. Stephen's Cave.

In the 19th century, a very poor family, the head of the family at the entrance to the cave built a small adobe house, the cave was used as a backyard. A famous painting by Michal Mayr from 1860 depicted given family and a cave.

The founding of the cave church took place in 1924, when a group of Paullin monks made a pilgrimage to Lourdes. In 1925 the cave was redone. Pauline monks lived in the cave for 17 years.

Nowadays, the church cave has acquired the status of a museum, and many tourists visit this historical place with pleasure!
