Despite the renovation of many facades in the recent years, bullet holes are still a common sight in Budapest. These traces of war can be dated back either to the fights in 1944/45 or 1956.

It is often difficult to say from which conflict are these traces of war. The study of the location of the fights can provide some clue, for example the bullet holes in Práter utca/Nap utca where caused by the fights of 1956, the bullet holes on buildings of the Castle Hill of Budapest are probably from 1945.
I have also noticed war wounds on the walls of the courtyards of some buildings like in Király utca 49 or Szentkirályi utca 32b. Although I am far from being a specialist, I think that these holes might have been caused by shrapnel shells which were used in 1944/45 rather than in 1956.

Budapest keeps other fascinating traces from the past conflicts such as inscription left by Soviet soldiers who cleared buildings from explosive and shelter signs painted on the wall of buildings.
