Pest - City Hall of Budapest

This Baroque building, which is now the home of the Municipal Council of Budapest, was built between 1716 and 1728 to designs by Anton Erhard Martinelli. Its first use was as a home for those wounded in the Austro-Turkish campaign. Above the doorways of the main façade are two fine reliefs, commemorating Emperor Charles IV (Hungarian King Charles III) and Prince Eugene of Savoy.
