One of the oldest church in Budapest is the Matthias church in the Buda Castle. It was founded by the first King St. Steven though there is no material evidence for the existence of the Buda Castle Church before 1247. Anyway the Matthias church is very old so it needed reconstruction. But it seems they will never finish it…:)
I just arrived home from Istanbul to Budapest but instead of sunny spring this rainy, wet weather was waiting for me. We went to the movies and coming back home Zannnie took this photo of the entrance of the St. Johns Hospital (Szent János Kórház) from the car.
”I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I’ve done
And it was all yellow”
- Guess who sang this?
Those who are regulars here will know it’s me and my favourite Budapest architecture ;) haha, well, I’m never tired of it – be it foggy or with a bright sun-shining on this building, I am always fascinated by the different faces of this special architecture! :)
Which do you noticed first? The intensity of the sunshine or the vandalism on the windows of this public bus? :)
I love this blue blue sky! It is indeed tricky during this time. The weather was snowing rain, or is it more correct to say, Snowing rain? Well, it was like that yesterday, snowing raining ;) But hey, today we have warm sunshine up to 10ºC :)
I like these kind of decorations at the entrances or facades and usually I will pause and look at them. This one is quite old and honestly I am not sure when was it dated (but certainly old). I always feel it might have a certain story behind. And between these curves, its captured expression on their faces or amongst the posture – the effort.
A little bit of sunshine makes the difference. This was taken at Moskva ter. (in English it is word by word translated as ‘Moscow Square‘). These buildings with colours are always beautiful to see. Somehow, Moskva ter is quite a popular spot for there are some destinations of the Buda hills which are touristic. So this square with the classic, old clock is a common meeting place for those going on excursions.
It is quite centralized for the Buda area due to its traffic and including a huge mall called Mammut. One can easily go to Buda Castle from Moskva ter on foot or by bus.
It’s been a very windy day today, even the swing (”hinta”) is swaying to and fro by itself due to the strong wind. This is a garden view in Buda, awaiting for Spring. It’s strange, but the weather forecasts said that there might be snow on Thursday in Budapest or probably in parts of Hungary…Is the spring in where you live with some surprises of ‘snow’ too?:)
