Map of Budapest/Víziváros
In Roman times, the north-south transport route parallel to the Danube to Aquincum led through the area. The settlement of the Romans here was destroyed by the Sarmatians in the 3rd century. In the Middle Ages, several small settlements were established in this area, each named after its church. In the time of King Sigismund, their inhabitants fortified these settlements with a town wall. From the Middle Ages, there was also a port here, where a lively commercial life took place. After the occupation of Buda, the Turks converted the temples into mosques. In 1686, during the fighting for the recapture of Buda, the area was almost completely destroyed. After the siege, German merchants and craftsmen were settled here, who built their houses and churches in Baroque style. At the end of the 19th century, the banks of the Danube were lined with rows of palaces, which is part of the 
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some of the small streets, monumental churches and residential houses of the district still retain the atmosphere of old times.

- From the end of the 17th century, Buda was more prosperous than Pest, but by the 19th century Pest caught up with its neighbor both culturally and economically. The Pesti Vigadó was a place for arts and entertainment a long time ago on the Pest side of the Danube. In 1892 Károly Gerlóczy (the deputy mayor of Budapest) received a request from the citizens of Buda for a cultural center of their own, and so in 1897 the city council called for tenders. Aladár Árkay and his father in law Mór Kallina won the contest. Between 1898 and 1900 winners of the architectural competition faced a demanding project: building a theatre and library to suit the needs of the residents of Buda on the site of a former arsenal. The two story Eclectic building was opened in January 1900 with a charity ball. Today the Ballroom is the theatre hall which can seat 301 people. The Budai Vigadó was considerably damaged in World War II, and was restored in 2007. The outside of the building is constructed in relatively simple, Eclectic style, but the interior boasts an impressive Art-Nouveau hall with a marble staircase and pillars and a spacious, ornate theatre.
