Pest - Archduke Joseph Square József Nádor tér
This square is named after Archduke Joseph of Habsburg, who was elected Palatine (the King's deputy) of Hungary in 1796 and who did a great deal for Budapest. His monument in the square was the work of J. Halbig (1859.)
The buildings around the square still retain something of the atmosphere of the last century. This is especially true of No. 1 (1825), built by J. Hild, the outstanding representative of Hungarian Classicism, No. 5 (1859), which was designed according to the ideas of the great Romantic architect H. Máltás, and No. 7, built in classical style in 1833 by L. Zofahl.
Nearby stands the ultra-modern administration building of the Ministry of Finance (Pénzügy-minisztérium).
