Kiskunfélegyháza Town Hall

Few towns in Hungary can boast of a town hall as imposing and original as that in Kiskunfélegyháza. Designed by József Vass and built in 1911 in the center of the town, it - together with the town hall in Kecskemét - can claim to be the most beautiful example of Hungarian art nouveau architecture.

The rich floral ornamentation on the false gable-ends of the main façade is copied from the designs found in rural Hungarian folk-art, such as those seen on the embroidered cloaks and jackets worn by the shepherds. This ornamentation, together with the colorful majolica roof-tiles made in the Pécs Zsolnay factory, give the otherwise somewhat severe building a more cheerful note.
