Church of the Assumption, Mátyás-templom, Nagyboldogasszony-templom
According to church tradition, it was built in Romanesque style in 1015, although few references exist. The current building was constructed in the florid late Gothic style in the second half of the 14th century and was extensively restored in the late 19th century. It was the second largest church of medieval Buda. The rococo spire of this church is one of the easily seen landmarks of the Buda Castle.
Régi budai városháza
One-storey Baroque style building. For more than 160 years it was the administrative center of Buda, and for another 70 years it was the administrative center of the 1st district. Construction began in 1702 under the leadership of Italian master Venerio Ceresola. A few decades later the building was enlarged: the ornate Rococo staircase and the first part of the west wing of Úri Street was built between 1770 and 1774 according to the plans of Máté Nöpauer. On the two corners of the simple-lined, uniform-style building, there is a protruding enclosed balcony supported by ornately carved stone consoles, and a small bell and clock tower at the top of the east wing. The building has two inner courtyards. Remains of medieval booths can be seen in the doorway, from here a staircase lined with a carved stone railing leads upstairs. The ceiling of one of the central rooms on the first floor is covered with rich stucco decoration in several forms. On the corner overlooking the Trinity Square, stands a statue of Pallas Athena in the recess cut into the wall. Her shield is decorated with the coat of arms of the city of Buda.
Hadik András-szobor
A favorite of Empress Maria Theresia is well known to local students. The statue, designed by György Vastagh Jr. was presented to the public in 1937. The general is on horseback; take a close look at the horse's testicles. They are shiny yellow, unlike the patina on the rest of the statue. Engineering students have for years polished the horse testicles on the morning of difficult exams, supposedly for luck.

Szent István király lovasszobra
King Stephen was the first king of Hungary (crowned about 1000). He was declared a saint for his efforts in bringing Christianity to Hungary. He carries the apostolic cross with two crossbars, symbol granted him by the Pope. The sculpture was made by sculptor Alajos Strobl, started the project in 1896 and completed it in 1906. Frigyes Schulek designed the Neo-Romanesque foundation for the statue. The foundation structure is decorated with reliefs, which commemorate a prominent moment of King Stephen's reign: the coronation scene, the introduction of the legislative act, the depiction of Vienna and the Austria-Hungary dualism, while on the back and east we see a series of scenes symbolizing the temple construction, where Stróbl depicted the aging Schulek master as the bearded, kneeling, model of King Stephen in the form of a master builder.
