We are celebrating Budapest’s birthday with unprecedented photos
Today’s Budapest was established on November 17, 1873, uniting the cities of Pest, Buda and Óbuda. On the occasion of the birthday of the capital, the readers of hirado.hu made a special selection of images. The theme is very well processed, but we found some more cubes we had never seen before in the National Photo Gallery.
