I live in Budapest, capital city of Hungary. Its history goes back for a long time. The first town in this area was built by Celts, called Ak Ink ('spring rich in water'). Later, the Romans moved into this area, they called this city Aquincum.
In the 9th century, the Hungarian appeared here.
The cultural role of Buda was particularly significant during reign of King Matthias. The Italian Renaissance had a great influence upon the city. The second Hungarian university was established in the city in 1395 (the first was founded in Pécs in 1367): and the first book was printed in Buda in 1473 under the title Budai krónika (The chronicle of Buda).
And now, some pictures:
The Parliament building, next to the river Danube
The Chain Bridge ('LánchÃ*d')
Square of the Heroes ('Hősök tere') - one of the most popular squares in Budapest
