A Brief History of Gellrt Hill

The hill was named afterbishop Gellrt(Gerard), who was thrown to death from the hill bypagans in the fight against Christianity in 1046. His statue, which faces Elizabeth Bridge(Erzsbet hid) and holds a cross, can be seen from many parts of Pest. At the top of the hill isthe Citadel (Citadella), a fortress built by the Habsburgs after defeating Hungary's War ofIndependence in 1849. It was a prime, strategic site for shelling both Buda and Pest in theevent of a future rebellion.

In the 18th century, the slopes of Gellrt Hill were covered with vineyards. The Tabn districtat the foot of the hill was an important center of winemaking in Buda. Gellrt Hill was astrategic military position in the Second World War as well as the 1956 HungarianRevolution, when Soviet tanks bombarded the city from here. Budapest's Statue of Libertystands on top of the hill, and she can be seen from all parts of the city. Liberty was erectedduring theCommunist era,commemorating the liberation from Nazi rule.

Now a residential area, private homes and embassies line the streets winding up the hill. Since1987, Gellrt Hill has been listed as aworld heritage site,as part of "the Banks of theDanube" area. The famousHotel Gellrtand theGellrt Bathscan be found in Gellrt Square

at the foot of the hill.
