Pécs - Király utca

 
Király utca, formerly Kossuth Lajos utca, enters Széchenyi tér. Now a pedestrian zone and a busy shopping street, Király utca has retained most of its original buildings. At the square end of the street the art nouveau building of the Hotel Palatinus (1916) will immediately catch the visitor's eye. Restored at great expense in 1989, this top-class hotel is magnificent both inside and out.

After a few yards the street widens out into Színház tér. Here stands the Pécs National Theatre (theater, opera, ballet). Built in 1893-95 in a mix of historical styles, it has recently been renovated. Its modern and distinctive productions have earned the ballet company an international reputation. At the eastern end of the pedestrian zone stands the Baroque church of St Pauline with its twin-towered front.
