In the 5th district, the hearth of Budapest, there is a very spacious square where you fcan't miss the Szent István Bazilika - Saint Stephen's Basilica.
We come out from the street where you saw these two nice houses and there it is, a huge monument.
Here you can even see the building of my previous post in the corner of the picture:
In the brochures, I didn't read anything about those two numbers you can see on the facade, but as it was year 2006, 1456 must represent the battle of Nándorfehérvár (today: Belgrade) where the Hungarians beat the Turks and so stopped them from their intent to invade the Christian Europe. And 1956 - well, one can find a lot of material about the Hungarian revolution of that year.
Have a look inside (last post on that page)

Sun gives it a golden colour !
Hi Andrea, loved to be back to your blog (actually it's always a mystery how you manage to deal with all your blogs and still find time to visit other blogs and nicely sing...).
The Basilica is beautiful, huge... We've been back there in 2006, but pictures have to wait to be posted: on the digital era I'm still in February 2005 (Istanbul...). Take care and have a nice weekend.
Gil
