With your private guide, spend a half day discovering the breathtaking architecture and mesmerizing views of the city. Also known as the Church of Our Lady of Buda, the Roman Catholic Matthias Church was originally constructed in 1015, although the current Gothic style structure dates to the second half of the 14^th century. During the 150-year period of Turkish occupation, it served as the city’s main mosque. Named after King Matthias Corvinus, the church was later restored with heavy Baroque influence after the years of Turkish rule. Continue next door to Fisherman’s Bastion, constructed between 1895 and 1902. The seven towers of the bastion represent the seven Magyar tribes that originally settled in the Carpathian Basin in 895, and the terrace’s neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque design features impressive towers, colonnades, and embrasures. The towers offer sweeping vistas over the city and the Danube and are a popular choice for panoramic photos overlooking the Danube.
