Originally a poor quarter where fishermen, craftsmen and their families lived, the Vizivaros (Watertown) between Varhegy and the Danube was repopulated after the expulsion of the Turks by Croatian and Serbian mercenaries and their camp-followers. Today it's a reclusive neighbourhood of mansions and old buildings meeting at odd angles on the hillside, reached by alleys which mostly consist of steps rising from the main street, Fo utca . Some of these are still lit by gas lamps and look quite Dickensian on misty evenings.
