Gellért Hill<br />

Word of mouth indicates that this hill used to be the place of the witches, but today it is simply a place with a beautiful view of the city. The name<br />

of the hill is closely connected to another legend that tells the story of a bishop. His name was Gellért, and in 1046 he visited the pagan Hungarians<br />

to convert them to Christianity but they resisted, and the bishop was stuffed in a barrel equipped with inward pointing nails and rolled down a hill.<br />

Later, the converted Hungarians named the hill after Gellért and erected a statue depicting him.<br />
