In 1908, a museum commemorating the Queen opened in the castle at Buda; she gave her name both to a wide street (Queen Erzsébet Street) and a slender bridge spanning the Danube. Her popularity remained undiminished even decades after her death and not even the Communists dared to rename either street or bridge. In 1855, Elisabeth sets foot in Hungary for the first time and is welcomed with high expectations and much sympathy. The Hungarians hoped that this beautiful young woman might be able to bring peace to the country after its quashed revolution. And she did not disappoint them.
