The communist times have simply been unfortunate for the Hungarians. A lot of property that held very high cultural value was destroyed and was turned into ruins. The Maria Magdolna Templom is one such example of the destruction of the communist times. This church infact, was the only functional church during the Ottoman regime and even this was soon turned into a mosque. It is located in the Castle district of Buda and today holds a very high position in subtly narrating the unfortunate history of Budapest but also in telling a survival story of its own.
