The memorial to the 1956 uprising against the Soviets shows sparse rusted iron bars getting increasingly closer together and taller until it ends up as a solid block. Sometimes these modern monuments are lame, but I feel this one works. It's saying something about strength in numbers.

In the middle of the park is Vajdahunyad Castle. It covers a lot of ground and spans different styles. Interestingly, it was originally made of cardboard so Christ Church Cathedral is in good company.





Still Vajdahunyad...





I then had some palacsinta (pancakes) and wandered back through the city to my hotel.

Every European city seems to have one of these gates ripped off from Berlin. I suggest it be called a random burg gate.
