Fisherman's Bastion

Budapest, Hungary

Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) and the bronze statue of Saint Stephen I of Hungary (Szent István).
Fisherman's Bastion is the large white tower and lookout terrace complex hanging over the side of Castle Hill beneath the Mátyás Church.
It was built between 1890-1905, and is named after both the medieval fishmarket once nearby and the Guild of Fishermen who defended this section of the wall during past wars.

Terrific composition. It's also great to hear a little of its history.
