Sándor Palace
Sándor-palota
Built between 1803–1806 in Neoclassical style according to plans of Mihály Pollack and Johann Aman architects as the home of the Sándor family. In 1867, following the idea of Prime Minister Gyula Andrássy, the Hungarian state first rented it out, and in 1881 bought it permanently as a government residence. Between 1867 and 1945 (with minor interruptions) it served as the residence of the current Hungarian Prime Minister, and was also the site of several government meetings. It was almost completely destroyed in World War II, after that it was used as a museum warehouse for a long time. Its external image was only repaired in 1989–1990, and its complete (external, internal) restoration was carried out between 2000 and 2002. The interiors are original from 1806, and the furniture reflects the conditions between the two world wars. It has served as the official residence and workspace of the President of Hungary since 2003.

Carmelite Monastery, Castle Theatre
Karmelita kolostor, Várszínház
The Baroque monastery was built in 1736 by the Carmelite order on the former site of a mosque that was destroyed in 1686 during the siege that liberated Buda from Ottoman occupation. The order received the real estate in 1693 and completed the new monastery and church by 1736, but it was consecrated only in 1763. Two decades later, Emperor Joseph II disbanded the order and converted the property into a theatre by imperial order in 1786, "for the delectation of high-ranking court officials". Some notable performances included Beethoven and the premiere of Bánk Bán. It is the current seat of the Prime Minister of Hungary.
