Statues in Budapest

If you are a person who likes little details like this for your photos, you will enjoy walking about in Budapest. Lots of statues, memorials and intricate detailings on facades of major buildings. They are pretty charming and captivating.

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 :)

lady statues

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.

You can find it at: 1014 Budapest, District I, Szentháromság tér
