Gyor - Széchenyi tér

Between Gutenberg Square and Széchenyi Square, on Jedik Anyos utca, some prettily restored town residences in Baroque and 18th C plait styles provide an "old town" atmosphere.

Since Roman times Széchenyi tér has been the center of Gyor, and it was here that weekly and annual markets, public meetings and festivals were held. In the middle of the square stands a Lady Column which commemorates the liberation of Buda from the Turks in 1686; there are also statues of saints. The houses on the square are 17th-18th C. They include the Rosalie House, so called because below the oriel window is a stucco relief of St Rosalie. On the gable wall of the window can be seen a further relief, a pelican feeding its young.
