Székesfehérvár

Székesfehérvár, where in the old times the Hungarian kings were crowned, hides lots of sights. We visited some of them.

Bory-castle

First, we visited the Bory-castle. Jenő Bory built the castle for his wife in the first part of the 20th century. The castle never served defense purposes. However, it is a perfect tourist destination with the rose garden, the different sculptures, and the bastions, for which you can go up.

The Bory-castle is may the most beautiful from its garden

Sights of Székesfehérvár

In the downtown of Székesfehérvár, in the Petőfi street, we found a working phone box. Two stood next to each other, one works with card, one with cash.

We had been in the courtyard opening from Kossuth street, we saw the clockwork - visible in every even hour from ten to six.

We visited Black Eagle Pharmacy Museum (Fekete Sas Patikamúzeum) also: in the second room you can smell different pleasant and unpleasant fragnant spices, materials, from nutmeg flower to smelling-salts.
