|
The imposing Town Hall (Városháza), was built in 1893-96 to plans by Ödön Lechner (1845-1914) and Gyula Pártos (1845-1916), and is an important example of the Hungarian art nouveau style. Varying architectural features, especially the Gothic ogival arches, round columns and artificial pillars on the walls, mingle with traditional majolica ornamentation and contemporary extensions to form a unique and unconventional whole.
