Pest - Kossuth Lajos tér

 
On the northern edge of the center of Pest lies Kossuth Lajos tér, surrounded by monumental buildings. On the west side stands Parliament Building and on the east side the Neo-Renaissance Ethnographical Museum and the neo-classical Ministry of Agriculture and Food building.

On the northern lawns of the square stands a monument commemorating Lajos Kossuth by Zsigmond Stróbl (1952); on the southern lawn is an equestrian statue of Count Ferenc Rákóczi by János Pásztor (1935). On the square in front of the north front of the Parliament Building the famous sculptor Imre Varga unveiled a statue in 1975 of the politician Mihály Károlyi (1875-1955).

To the south of Parliament Building stands a pleasing statue of the great lyricist Attila József by László Márton.
