The Fisherman's Bastion is an architectural structure on the Fortress Hill in Buda, one of the attractions of the Hungarian capital. It is a square surrounded by a gallery 140 m long and 8 m wide with conical hipped towers (6 small and one central, symbolizing the seven tribes that founded the Hungarian state), arcades and balustrades, offering a magnificent view of the Danube and Pest.
The fishermen's bastion was built in 1899-1905 according to the design of the architect Frigyes Szulek and was conceived as an architectural background for the Matthias Church. Despite its name, the Fisherman's Bastion never had a defensive significance. Previously, on the site of the Fisherman's Bastion there was a square surrounded by a fortress wall, where fish trade took place. In the Middle Ages, Buda fishermen defended this section of the fortress wall in case of military threat, and the Fisherman's Bastion became a monument to the brave fishermen's guild.
