Buda
Buda (, ) is the part of Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, that lies on the western bank of the Danube.

Alternatively, the name ''Pest'' may have come from a Slavic word meaning "furnace", "oven" (Bulgarian ; Serbian /''peć''; Croatian ''peć''), related to the word (meaning "cave"), probably with reference to a local cave where fire burned.
