March 14, 2010 - Kiskiralylany in a jester’s hat

The first time when I arrived in Budapest, Zsolt and I was there. He asked me to make a guess if this statue is a ‘he’ or a ‘she’. Looking at this little child sitting on the tram’s fence with a jester’s hat, I guessed it wrong since at that time I still can’t read Hungarian.

This little princess (Kiskiralylany in Hungarian) is a statue created by Laslo Morton. It is very close to the chain bridge and in front of the Buda castle but on the pest side. Those who have been here will sure to know who is she :)

If you are here in Budapest, one of the must see is the Buda Castle which was built on the southern tip of Castle Hill. It is next to the old Castle District (Hun: Várnegyed), which is famous for its medieval, Baroque and 19th century houses and public buildings. This special lady statue sits right at a corner of the building.
