ÃÂbuda (, ) is, together with Buda and Pest, one of the three cities that were unified to form the Hungarian capital city of Budapest in 1873. Today, together with Békásmegyer, ÃÂbuda forms a part of the city's third district, although the toponym is also sometimes used for northern Buda as a whole.
The neighborhood proper is centered on Fà  tér beside the Szentlélek tér BHÃÂV station. ÃÂbuda Island, which lies in the Danube beside ÃÂbuda, hosts the Sziget Festival, a major annual music and cultural festival.
Settlements dating from the Stone Age have been found in ÃÂbuda. The Romans built there Aquincum, the capital of Pannonia province. Hungarians arrived after 900 and it served as an important settlement of major tribal leaders, later kings. The site was the location of royal and ecclesiastic foundations. King Béla IV built a new capital after the 1241âÂÂ42 catastrophic Mongol invasion in Buda, somewhat south of ÃÂbuda. In the fourteenth century, ÃÂbuda featured a convent of the Poor Clares.
The obscured historical remains of ÃÂbuda, together with the role it played in nineteenth-century poetry, has resulted it being subject to various historical disputes.
A commemorative plaque appears on the building erected on the site of the former Jewish Elementary School in ÃÂbuda (6 ÃÂbuda St.) commemorating victims of the Holocaust.
