Matthias Fountain

Castle District

LoginSave

Facing the Royal Palace鈥檚 large courtyard to the northwest is the Romantic-style Matthias Fountain, portraying the young king Matthias Corvinus in hunting garb. To the right below him is Sz茅p Ilona (Beautiful Helen), the protagonist in a Romantic ballad by the poet Mih谩ly V枚r枚smarty. Apparently, Ilona fell in love with this dashing 鈥榟unter鈥 鈥 who was in reality King Matthias 鈥 and, upon learning his true identity and feeling unworthy, died of a broken heart.

The middle one of the king鈥檚 three dogs was blown up during the war; canine-loving Hungarians quickly had an exact copy made.
