Fisherman’s Bastion

The last place that Toplist wants to introduce in the list of Most beautiful historical sites in Hungary is Fisherman's Bastion.

The Fisherman's Bastion (Halaszbastya) in Hungary is a beautiful set of walkways and terraces built between 1895 and 1902 along the eastern part of Budapest's Castle Hill.

The Fisherman's Bastion is one of the city's most famous monuments, with turrets and towers reminiscent of a fairytale. It has 7 towers in all, each symbolizing one of Hungary's tribes.

While the name suggests a coastal fortress, Fisherman's Bastion is neither coastal nor defensive. The name alludes to the fisherman's guild, which originally guarded this section of the medieval fortifications.

Today, the Fisherman's Bastion is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Budapest.
