The city of Budapest, capital of Hungary, located on the Danube River consists of two separate centers: Buda on the west bank, Pest on the east bank, which in 1872 united into a single administrative unit. The origins of the town go back to the Roman period, when the legions of the future Emperor Augusts BC conquered the western part of the present-day Hungary in the year 35 and transformed into a Romanc province named Pannonia.
