Day of Blanka in Hungary. The name has a Spanish origin. It means shining, clean.
Savoyai Eugen

With this post I shall continue with the exploration of the palace of Buda as you’ve requested.:) This handsome guy is “François-Eugène, Prince of Savoy-Carignan (October 18, 1663 – April 24, 1736), known as Prinz Eugen von Savoyen in German, was arguably the greatest general to serve the Habsburgs” as wikipedia says. He has a statue in the palace of Buda because in 1686, he led the coalition army against the Turks who had occupied Buda for 150 years. It was a great job….and we are really thankful (see we raised a statue) but as we are used to it, everyone who comes here to liberate us…somehow forgets to leave. This happened with the Habsburgs too.:)
