Coat of arms of Budapest
The coat of arms of Budapest (capital city of Hungary) has existed since 1873, when the three main cities next the Danube river (Buda, Pest and Óbuda) were united in one after existing during a millennium separately. The city committee that was planning the city's unification asked the master-painter Lajos Friedrich that design the coat of arms based in the cities' previous symbols and coats.
