Ruins, St. Mary Magdalene Church

This 13th century church was turned into a mosque during the Ottoman occupation but was severely damaged in 1686, when Buda was retaken from the Turks. Franciscan monks subsequently built a Baroque tower and church, but after World War II, most of it was pulled down (I don't know why).

Great view of this imposing tower. Very clear and nicely framed. Pity that is all that's left. V
