Fisheman's Bastion (13KB)

The Fisherman's Bastion

I'm not sure about the significance of the name of this landmark, but standing on the parapet of this structure you get a magnificent view of the Danube River and the streets and buildings of Pest beyond.  Immediately behind the Hilton Hotel and visible from the river and beyond, the Fisherman's Bastion is one of Budapest's most identifiable landmarks and most popular tourist destinations.

 If I am not mistaken, these statues are under the same arch as the title shot. >>
