Budapest -- May 2007 (Part 3)

Part 3 of photos from my May 2007 trip to Budapest. (Continued from Parts 1 & 2.)

The very controversial Soviet war monument in Budapest's city centre, outside the Hungarian State Television building. This was the scene of major anti-government riots and demonstrations in September 2006.

A fountain in Budapest's city centre (near Deák Ferenc Tér).

The Regnum Marianum memorial. The Regnum Marianum was a church in Budapest--located in the vicinity of the City Park--which was built in 1931. The church, however, was demolished by Communist authorities in 1951, on the occasion of Stalin's birthday. The current monument was erected in 2000.

A statue of Mihály Károlyi, the founder and prime minister of the first Hungarian Republic, in 1918.

A statue of an old man and a dog, in the Kossuth Tér metro station (Line M2).

The Combino Supra tram at Budapest's Moszkva Tér terminus. Budapest's Combino is currently the world's longest tram.

With family in Budapest

A visit to Father Regöczy's chapel in Budapest. István Regöczy is a prominent 92 year old priest and author in Budapest, who was persecuted and imprisoned during the former Communist regime. He now runs a chapel and a small museum on the life of the late Cardinal Mindszenty in Buda.
