Numerous websites, Facebook, and Instagram profiles already document Budapest’s statues. In this category, I will focus on sculptures hidden inside buildings and the fascinating stories behind them.
This headless Venus stands in the courtyard of Szív utca 18. In 1980, she “wrote” an article for a magazine. Read her story here.
This statue of a woman, waiting for someone, gazes at passersby on Thököly utca. Many urban legends are linked to her
Behind the unappealing facade of Visegrádi utca 4 hides a beautiful staircase adorned with statues on each floor of the house!
A stone dog guards the entrance of Thököly utca 61, the house with a balcony where a woman gazes at passersby.
The statue, which guards the staircase of the partially abandoned building at Múzeum körút 19, was partially wrapped in plastic, perhaps to protect her during renovation works.
Hernád utca 19 is guarded by this mysterious creature who has witnessed many stories from the house’s past.
