The Fisherman`s Bastion, built in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style is one of the best known monuments in Budapest, located in the Buda Castle. It is one of the most important tourist attractions due to the unique panorama of Budapest from the Neo-Romanesque lookout terraces. Its seven high-pitched stone towers symbolize the seven chieftains of the Hungarians who founded Hungary in 895. From the towers and the terrace a panoramic view exists of Danube, Margaret Island, Pest to the east and the Gellert Hill.The guild of fishermen was responsible for defending this stretch of the city walls in the Middle Ages.
