Danube Promenade

The Danube Promenade (Hungarian: Dunakorzó) is located on the Pest side of Budapest, Hungary.

On the left bank of the Danube a row of hotels began to rise.

Among them only Bristol survived the destruction of World War II, but in 1969 the hotel was demolished.

In front of the hotels an esplanade took shape that later became known as Dunakorzó (En: Danube Boardwalk).

The southern end of the promenade is the Március 15 Square, where the remains of a Roman bastion, Contra-Aquincum, are displayed, The Inner City Parish Church’s simple exterior conceals a colorful past: it was built as a Romanesque basilica and later was used as a mosque during the Turkish occupation and was finally reconceived in the baroque style in the 18th century.
