Flood sign with a hungarian and serbian epigraph

Plaques commemorating the devastating flood of 1838 with a mark showing the level reached by the floodwater are to be found on many buildings in Pest and Buda. This flood plaque in Hungarian and Serbian is from the house at number 15 Döbrentei utca, in Tabán, also known as Rácváros (“Serbs’ town”). There is an exact replica in the building today.
