Exploring Buda Castle

Eventually, I arrived on top of the city on the hill on which Buda Castle sits.

Note the excellent hot chocolate.

I think it may be true to say, that although a lot of damage was done to the buildings during the Second World War, quite a bit of damage was done since by the Communists. Wikipedia says that quite a few statues and facades were destroyed.

In the Hungarian National Gallery, there was a large section devoted to the works of Mihály Munkácsy.  I’d never heard of him before, but to my untutored eye, he was fairly impressive.
