Pest - Elisabeth Square

(Local Name: Erszébet tér) Almost 2ha (5 acres) in extent, Erzsébet tér (Elisabeth Square; formerly known as Engels tér) was once the site of a cemetery. In the center of a lawn stands the Danubius Fountain, designed by Ybl in 1883 and originally set up on Kalvin tér. The figures on the fountain, by Fessler, symbolize "Mother" Danube and her "Daughters", the three main tributaries, the Drau, the Tisza and the Save.

Of considerable architectural merit are the buildings in the classical manner in József Attila utca on the north side of the square.
