Budapest, including the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue,Hungary.


It was the site of the Roman city of Aquincum, situated to the north of the inscribed property which comprises parts of two originally quite separate cities: Buda on the spur on the right bank and Pest on the plain on the left bank.on the the Banks of the river Danube.
It is one of the world's outstanding urban landscapes and illustrates the great periods in the history of the Hungarian capital. In the 19th century, the city’s role as a capital was enhanced by the foundation of the Hungarian Academy, housed from 1862 in a neo-renaissance palace, and by the construction of the imposing neo-gothic Parliament building (1884–1904).This beautiful card was sent by Tricia F from USA.Thank you Tricia for the wonderful Venus/Saturn stamps too.  Ref: 400bis
