Budapest Churches

Still part of the No 2 tram scenic walk is the character frozen in time, Sandor Petofi, the main influence of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution. His death is somewhat disputed but he was last seen alive during the last battle in Transylvania where he was killed by the Russians who had nothing to do with Hungary's fight for independence.  The Creek Orthodox Church is in the background.  The black obelisk is obvious of Masonic influence.
This is March 15th Square where the revolution began.  Nested in the center of the square is the inner city parish church (Roman Catholic).  Since medieval times towns were build around squares and each square contained a church.
