BUDAPEST AS FOLLOWS=

  • Budapest has architecturally noteworthy buildings in a wide range of styles and from distinct time periods, from the ancient times as Roman City of Aquincum in Óbuda (District III), which dates to around 89 AD, to the most modern Palace of Arts, the contemporary arts museum and concert hall.
  • Most buildings in Budapest are relatively low: in the early 2010s there were around 100 buildings higher than 45 metres (148 ft).
  • In the chronological order of architectural styles Budapest represents on the entire timeline. Start with the Roman City of Aquincum represents the ancient architecture.
  • Matthias Church in Budapest, built in Gothic and Gothic revival style.
  • The next determinative style is the Gothic architecture in Budapest. The few remaining Gothic buildings can be found in the Castle District. Buildings of ntoe are no. 18, 20 and 22 on Országház Street, which date back to the 14th century and No. 31 Úri Street, which has a Gothic façade that dates back to the 15th century.
  • Another building with Gothic remains is the Inner City Parish Church (Budapest), built in the 12th century. The most characteristic Gothic-style buildings are actually Neo-Gothic, like the most well-known Budapest landmarks, the Hungarian Parliament Building and the Matthias Church, where much of the original material was used (originally built in Romanesque style in 1015).
  • Today, many of the original renaissance buildings disappeared during the varied history of Buda, but Budapest is still rich in renaissance and neo-renaissance buildings, like the famous Hungarian State Opera HouseSt. Stephen’s Basilica and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
  • Tropicarium in Budapest:
  • Hlavnou atrakciou Tropicaria je 1,4 mil. litrové žraločie akvárium s 11 metrov dlhým vyhliadkovým tunelom.
  • Steny akvária sú zhotovené zo špeciálneho 16 cm. hrubého nerozbitného panoramatického skla.
  • Môžeme obdivovať až dvojmetrových tigrovaných či hnedých žralokov pochádzajúcich z Floridy, ktoré patria medzi 10 najnebezpečnejších druhov žralokov.
  • Ďalšou mimoriadnou atrakciou je prales, v ktorom návštevníci zažijú skutočnú tropickú klímu.

Budapešť – hlavné mesto uhorského kráľovstva, mesto prezývané “stredoeurópsky Paríž“
• Parlament – najväčšia stavba krajiny
• Reťazový most – prvý most ktorý spojil obidva brehy Dunaja
• Kráľovský palác – 700 ročné sídlo maďarských kráľov

OSVIENčIM AS FOLLOWS=

  • Počas druhej svetovej vojny bolo mesto pričlenené k Nemeckej ríši a bol tu vybudovaný najprv koncentračný tábor Auschwitz I v areáli bývalých kasární a neskôr na druhej strane mesta rozsiahly vyhladzovací tábor Auschwitz II – Birkenau (Brzezinka), v ktorom počas vojny zavraždili viac ako milión ľudí (hlavne Židov, ale taktiež Poliakov, Čechov, Rusov, Rómov a iných).
  • Pri stavbe tábora Nemci násilne vysídlili okolité poľské obyvateľstvo v okruhu 40 km (taktiež z osvienčimskej štvrte Zasole, ktorá sa nachádzala za riekou Sola).
  • Po porážke Nemecka (Osvienčim bol oslobodený sovietskymi vojakmi) sa tu obnovila poľská správa. Sovietsky zväz, ktorý z územia Poľska vytlačil Nemcov, dosadil k moci komunistov. 

Múzeum moderného umenia Andyho Warhola =
