Kecskemét - József Katona Theatre

The south side of Kossuth tér merges into Katona József tér, on which stands the Neo-Baroque Theatre (1896), which has been renovated and has regained its original charm. It was designed by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer, who were among the busiest builders of theaters of their time. The front of the Kecskemét theater has the triangular gable and pillars to the side, a feature so typical of these architects, with the large rounded arch reaching down into the main entrance.

The sculptor Leopold Anton Conti carved the figures on the Baroque Plague or Trinity Column in front of the theater; the cost of the column was met by public subscription in 1742.
