The magnificent elephant house at Budapest Zoo. Built in 1912, it shows a Moorish influence. At a time when many zoos here and in western Europe are doing away with splendid animal houses, Budapest preserves and cherishes its structures. Budapest is one of the greatest of all zoos but is relatively unknown here. It has long had success breeding Asian elephants. |
