EUROPE LODGES

Budapest Coat of Arms The 7th International Symposium of the “Europe” Lodges was held in Budapest and Gyöngyös, during 09-11 May 2014. Budapest is the capital city of Hungary, built on both shores of the Danube River. It is a beautiful city, speaking of the mystic of 2 in 1, as it is formed from two cities, Buda and Pesta. It is plenty of majestic imperial buildings, very clean, very civilized, a delight to the eyes of a traveller. Its bridges over the Danube are an architectural splendour. Gyöngyös, on the other hand, is the town where our Hungarian Brothers are currently working. It is located in the Heves county, 80 km east of Budapest. Its main monuments are the Franciscan cathedral and the Orczy Palace.
