Kalocsa - Archbishop's Palace

This Baroque palace was built in 1776, to plans by the Piarist monk Gáspár Oswald, on the walls of a 14th C castle. The wall-paintings in the festival hall and the ceiling frescos in the chapel are the work of the famous Austrian Baroque artist Franz Anton Maulbertsch (1724-96). The east wing houses the library, which contains some 100,000 volumes, including 56 codices and 508 incunabula. The most valuable books include a Martin Luther Bible.
