| Description |
Not a great shot but an important statue. A Baroque statue of the Virgin Mary with Christ, it was responsible for Buda’s miraculous recapture by the united Christian army in 1686. The devotional statue of the church. It maybe the votive statue of king Ulaszlo I which was enclosed when the church was turned into a mosque. According to the legend, when Buda castle was under siege by the Turks, people walled in the statue inside the niche. In 1686 an explosion demolished the walls around the statue revealing the Virgin’s shining face. The Turks took this as a bad omen so they gave up this part of the castle without fight. |
