Officially known as The Church of Our Lady, Budapest's Matthias Church was built in 1255 century along Trinity Square, in the heart of the Castle District, and was Buda's first parish church. It just underwent an extensive renovation and well worth a visit.
Outside is the Fisherman's Bastion was built at the site of an old rampart that, during the Middle Ages, was defended by the guild of fishermen, who lived nearby in Vízívaros (watertown), at the foot of the hill. Thus the name of the bastion. An old fish market also sat at this location during medieval times. On a clear day - it provides some impressive views of the Parliament Building and city of Pest.
