The district of Obuda , up the river bank to the north, is the oldest part of Budapest, though that's hardly the impression given by the factories and high-rises that dominate the area today, hiding such ancient ruins as remain.

it was here that the Romans built a legionary camp and a civilian town, later taken over by the Huns. This developed into an important town under the Hungarian Arpad dynasty, but after the fourteenth century it was eclipsed by the Var. The original settlement became known as Obuda (Old Buda) and was incorporated into the newly formed Budapest in 1873. The best-preserved ruins lie further north, in the Romai-Furdo district, accessible by HEV train from Batthyany ter or the Margit hid.
