★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Also dubbed as “Trevi Fountain of Budapest” the Mathais fountain s a famous fountain in the courtyard of the royal palace in Buda Castle.
It depicts a hunting scene where in King Matthias standing on a dead stag with a cross bow after a successful hunting expedition. There are various statues on the fountain of which the one at the King Mathias’s left side carries a significance. It is the statue of Ilonka. Legend has it she died of a heart break (she fell in love with the king when he was hunting incognito, but broke her heart when she realised he was the King)! She holds a dear gently.
Unfortunately the fountain seems to be out of order! There’s no information posted at the site too!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fountain of King Matthias - must-see corner of the Buda castle. It depicts Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary and Croatia from 1458 to 1490, and his hunting party. With his patronage Hungary became the first European country which adopted the Renaissance from Italy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ According to the Legends, King Matthias went to the forest dressed as a huntsman, he met a young girl and fell in love. The King did not reveal his identity. He invited the girl to the palace. As the girl, named Ilonka, arrived to Buda, she realized that his sweetheart is the King himself. The young girl thought that it is a hopeless love and she died in grief.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is a story about this fountain that I will tell you. In ancient times, there was a king who went to the forest to hunt. Suddenly he saw a very beautiful deer that wanted to hunt it, but the deer turned into a beautiful girl by the spring. It happened that the king fell in love with her and did not kill her and married her!i love fairy tales!!
