Gellért Monument: This is Bishop Gellért Sagredo, known for his mission to spread Christianity throughout Hungary. After the first Christian king of Hungary Saint Stephen’s death, legend has it that the rebelling pagan Magyars sealed Gellért up in a barrel and sent him rolling down the side of the hill to his death.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY STREET ART: “MATCH OF THE CENTURY” by NEOPAINT

Location: Rumbach Sebestyén Utca

Story: On 25 November 1953, an international football match was played between Hungary—then the world’s number one ranked team, the Olympic champions and on a run of 24 unbeaten games, and England, that became known as the Match of the Century. Hungary won 6–3; the English were shown to be technically and tactically inferior to the Hungarian side, known as the Mighty Magyars, in every way. The result led to a review of the antiquated training and tactics used by the England team, and the subsequent adoption of continental practices at an international and club level in the English game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_of_the_Century_(1953_England_v_Hungary_football_match)

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY STREET ART: RUBIK’S CUBE by NEOPAINT

“A Hungarian invented the most popular toy in history: In 1974, Hungarian architecture professor Erno Rubik created a working prototype of an art piece that would one day become the best-selling toy in history. It took him more than a month to work out the solution to his invention. These first toys, sold in Hungary as the “Buvos Kocka,” or “Magic Cube,” eventually made it past the Iron Curtain and into the hands of one out of every seven people worldwide.” https://www.budapest-bound.com/hungarian-invented-electric-car-fun-facts-hungary/
