Wander past Margaret Bridge to the city’s<br />
most important Turkish monument: the 16thcentury<br />
Tomb of Gül Baba. It can be reached<br />
via a steep cobblestoned street that leads up to<br />
the affluent district of Rózsadomb (Rose Hill).<br />
Gül Baba was a Turkish dervish saint who fell<br />
during the Turkish siege of <strong>Budapest</strong> in 1541<br />
and who was credited for bringing roses to<br />
Hungary, hence the district’s name. His tomb<br />
is still a place of Islamic pilgrimage. Climb to<br />
the top of the hill for a wonderful panorama of<br />
nearby Margaret Island and Pest.<br />
