Fortunately we can still see all the nice bronze statues in the courts of the Royal Palace. These masterpieces were all made at the beginning of the XX.century.
1.The Turul statue- the mythic bird of the hungarians created by Gyula Donáth (1905)
2.The fishing boys (1901)
3.The Matthias-fountain. This amazing staute-group is work of the sculptor, Alajos Stróbl (1904) . You find it on the western side of the Palace and this is the most famous of all the others.
4..The "Csikós" statue was made by György Vastag (1902). Before the second World War this statue stood in a lower court of the Palace and has been moved after 1945 from it`s original place to the centre of the Western court.
5. The Szavojai or Di Savoya equestrian statue (created by József Róna in1900) that represents a battle scene in Zenta is a fine neobaroque work. Originally this sculpture was bespoken by the town of Zenta that couldn`t pay it. This is why Hauszmann decided to buy it and place it right in front of the cupola of the Palace.

I had two more tickets for the opera .
I booked music and we had music and ballet.
But what is more stylish and fun then having
a last drink at a coffee house.
We found another one whit a history that runs
back over a hunderd years. ----1898---
I'm talking Muvesz.
It is early oktober , thursday evening , outside
people are sitting on the terrace and watching
the crowds that pass by. Inside the front room
is lighted by two gigantic crystal chandeliers.
Gold decorations on the ceiling and dark
wooden doors with glass... a cassock with
a lot of tempting pastries.
(but not for us after all we ate at Ruszwurm).
We had a sandwish , nothing to mention
on a postcard for the homefront. But ok.
I count on you to test the pastries. lol.
They serve ordinary carte d'or , but I heard that
the apple cake is fantastic.
The perfect spot before going to the opera. Leave a Comment
