Fishermen's Bastion at dusk

---

Designed by Frigyes Schulek in 1895, this fantastical structure never had the role of a defensive building despite its name. It ocupies the site of Buda's old defensive walls and a medieval square where fish was once sold. The bastion is a purely aesthetic addition to Castle Hill and boasts beautiful views of the Danube and Pest.
