I love the workmanship in the exterior of European Buildings. Why don't we make things this beautiful any more? This building is one example of design and skills

The Zoo, which located in a beautiful environment awaits visitors every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. Beside seeing interesting animals, spectacular feeding actions, petting pens and organised events make the offer of the Zoo more colourful. Let’s explore the wonderful world of the animals!

We take a tour at the zoo on the way home from our honeymoon. I was here with my previous boyfriend in 2007 and since then almost everything has changed, but in a good way. We received a map and a program card with feeding times with the ticket and bought 2 portion of zoo food (only for ungulates!). Some parts of the zoo is under constraction, so we couldn't see everything, but it was a really nice trip. One of the kapibaras lay next to the fence so we could pet him/her, but it's a secret ;) The goats and lamas are really unashamed and made a pig of themselfs by tossing each other away. The wildlife part of the zoo is really nice and big, separated into different zones, one is for savannah animals, one is for camels, monkeys and so on and a new thing for me is the dino park. I think it is mostly for the children, it was a big annoying for me to read the given dinosaur was 9 meter long and I could see a 3 meter long something from plastic(?), but it was really realistic.

Szentharomsag Statue

Reviewed By MarriedAnd-Over-50 - Mission, Canada

This particular Column to the Holy Trinity is as beautiful as one can imagine. It is located at the Centre of Ovaros Ter and in front of St. Michael's Cathedral. It is absolutely beautiful. This is a very religious Catholic Country and the adoration to the Holy Trinity is evident in many cities. My 86 years old auntie has been delighted to see the photos of these columns and religious art work :-)

The grand entrance to the Castle District is in honor of those Hungarians who lost their lives during World War I.

Reviewed By MarriedAnd-Over-50 - Mission, Canada

This gate is "new" as a homage to the victims of WWI. Built in 1936 and it was restored in 2013. This marks the entrance to the Castle Hill complex.
