Gellert Hill is another very popular place, largely because of its fantastic views over the city.
The big statue near the base of the hill is of Bishop Saint Gellert, martyred on this spot in the eleventh century, and the buildings comprising the Citadel on the top mark the putting down by the Habsburgs of the War of Independence in 1848. There is a small chapel built into the south face of the hill. Resembling the one at Lourdes it dates originally from 1926, but after being forcibly closed for many years it was reopened in 1989.
