This location, influenced by architectural styles from different periods, boasts monuments such as the Roman city of Aquincum and the Gothic Buda Castle. It is an exceptional urban landscape of world scale, capturing major periods in the history of the Hungarian capital. A mighty river makes its way through the historic center. The metropolis was created by the union of ancient Buda or Buda with modern Pest. The city was inhabited 50,000 years ago, but it has only had its current name since 1872, because until then Buda and Pest were separate settlements. The mountainous and hilly Buda is more interesting for lovers of monuments, while the flat Pest is characterized by shopping centers, city promenades and cafes.

In the 4th century, a remarkable group of decorated tombs was built on the territory of this Hungarian city, formerly a Roman province. They are important from both an architectural and structural point of view, as they were built as underground burial chambers with memorial chapels above ground. The tombs are also artistically unique, richly decorated with wall paintings of excellent quality depicting Christian themes. They bear witness to the strength and faith of Christian communities during the late Roman period, as well as to the funerary art and architecture of Christians in the northern and western Roman provinces.
