Statue of King St Stephan. I had told the kids that depending on how many of the horses legs were in the air told how the rider died. However, according to Wikipedia:
"A common belief is that if the horse is rampant, that is with both front legs in the air, the rider died in battle. If the horse has one front leg up, the rider was wounded in battle or died of wounds sustained in battle, and if all four hooves are on the ground, the rider died of causes other than combat. However, there is little evidence to support this belief."
Ok kids, don't smile and act like a statue.
The seven towers here represent the seven Magyar tribes that first came to Hungary in 896. It is called the Fishermen's Bastion because there was a large Fish market here in medieval times.
