Vác - King Géza Square

(Local Name: Géza király tér) On the southwest side of the King Géza Square stands the Baroque triple-naved Franciscan church built in 1721-66 using stone from the medieval cathedral. The gable wall is decorated by a sculpture of the order's founder and Franciscan emblems. Also on Géza király tér, in the grounds of a new school, are a few ruins of the walls of the former royal castle. Only a stump remains of the ten-sided gate tower. Among the ruins is the figure of the "Happy settler of Vácz", from where, according to legend, the town takes its name.
