Overview
Completed in 1902 in a mix of Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic styles, its seven turrets represent the seven Magyar tribes who founded Hungary in 896. Next door to Buda Castle, its white stone arches frame postcard views of the Danube and Parliament, making it Budapest's top photo spot. The name honors the fishermen's guild that once defended this stretch of wall. Stunning Matthias Church stands right beside it.
