The Gellért Hill is the capital’s popular excursion place. The Citadel can also be found here.
The Hungarians call it a “mountain”, although at 235 metres, it is nowhere near the geographical definition of one. Nonetheless, with its steep craggy sides, trees changing colours with the seasons and architectural heritage, it forms an integral part of the Budapest landscape. On the Erzsébet bridge side and above the artificial waterfall stands the statue of its namesake Saint Gellért (Gerard). It was somewhere here that this monk, originally from Italy, died the death of a martyr in the 11th century. Saint Ivan’s cave is a famous legacy of the hill, which, after its expansion, now serves as the site for the Cave Church, a chapel of the Paulite monastic order. The Philosophers’ Garden is situated on the side of the hill nearest Castle Hill - a unique group of statues which commemorates the religions of the world. A richly diverse arboretum can be found there as well, a little farther from the Danube. The fortress located on the top of the hill was erected by the Habsburg rulers after the 1848-1849 revolution and war for independence was crushed. The Liberty Statue which stands in front of the fortress is of a female figure holding up a palm leaf. This is perhaps the most popular spot from which to view the city, as thousands of tourists stream by every day. However, many locals also stroll up the hill for a bit of fresh air and quiet, or to rest on the lawns.

The coronation of Franz Joseph as King of Hungary in 1867 reinforced the need for expansion and improvement to make the Royal Palace on Castle Hill into a true royal residence. Leadership of this project was assigned, after the death of Miklós Ybl, to another renowned architect of the day, Alajos Hauszmann. His work resulted in a palace complex that ranked among the most distinguished royal buildings of Europe in the early 20th century. In addition to completely renewing the exterior architecture, Hauszmann designed interiors that befitted a royal residence.

The House of Hungarian Music is a tree of life in the heart of the City Park, with a trunk, and a crown of golden leaves on slender branches. We are standing here by its roots, which provide the institution with its spiritual sustenance. The roots are entwined, like a labyrinth, and we walk among them. Our journey begins far back in time and space, back at the birth of music itself where we can grasp the roots of Hungarian folk music and European music. Progressing through the centuries, we will follow the development of music, discovering what a series of organised tones has meant to mankind, with the emphasis on Hungarians in the light—or sometimes the shadow—of Europe. Through the language of music, the exhibition speaks for itself: Everywhere we go, we hear music playing; the subject of the exhibition is music itself. Quoting Shakespeare, we might say, “Mark the music!” Mark not only the music coming from the headphones, but also the music around and within you. When you reach the end of the path, the modern day, many sounds will have been etched into your heart and mind: music to take home with you, the music of ancient times.
