If you keep your head high and watch the rooftops you can se e weird installations on many buildings. Many of these turret-like edifices have other purpos es than being just mere ornaments. They were designed to be shooting stands and wer e heavily in use during the war and in 1956. The one on the corner of Dob utca is still the one of the most dominant landmarks of the street. Nazis sniped on the Kiskörút from this turret that is now turned into a flat. It was on sale for HUF 15,000,000 in 2004.
