It seems in fact that every night the spirits of the past kings start to circle in the halls and the cortiles of the palace, that the ghosts of the warriors are making duels and are drinking in the streets of the quart and those of court ladies wander in search of the lost loves. After that we will go inside the cortile where there are some museums and the National Hungarian Gallery, right inside this court there is the Mattia’s fountain, one monumental creation, realized between the 1800 and 1900 and represents one of the love most tragic legends bounded to the Hungarian crown, the history of the “beautiful Ilona”. Ilona was a very beautiful girl, from humble origins who one day, during a walk in the forest, ran into a charming man, engaged in a hunting trip; both of them fall in love on first side in each other. Only after short time the girl discovered that this man was in fact the King Mattia, and she ran away realizing that their was an impossible love, so she let herself die... a truth or a legend  the statue of the beautiful Ilona is right there on the right side of the fountain...
