Photograph 2. ‘Fisherman’s Bastion, Budapest, Hungary.’ This neo-gothic and neo-romanesque modern castle was almost destroyed in World War Two.

Photograph. ‘Fisherman’s Bastion, Budapest, Hungary.’ View of the Hungarian Parliament Building from the Fisherman’s Bastion, on the Buda side of the Danube. Buda is the ancient capital of Hungary, and one of three territories that make up the modern city of Budapest. In 1686 Buda was reconquered from the Ottoman Empire.
Beside the parliament building sits Hungarian poet Attila Josef. Plagued in life by mental health issues, his statue seems to be finally at peace. @davidasutton @sketchbookexplorer Facebook.com/davidanthonysutton #b&w #photography #budapest #hungary #travel #travelblog #hungarytourism #parliamentofbudapest #attilajozsef

After over a hundred years, it’s still the largest building in Hungary, and stunning when lit up at night.
