Vác - Piarist Church

The dominant building on Szentháromság tér (Holy Trinity Square) is the former piarist church of St Anna (completed in 1745 after 20 years), recognizable by its narrow towers with pointed spires. The Piarist order house adjoins the church. The Baroque Trinity Column (1755) in the center of the square is a prime example of this type of sculpture, which is prevalent in Hungary.

Opposite the piarist church is one of the entrances to the thermal baths in Vác (the other entrance is at Ady Endre sétány 11). There is a park between the baths and the banks of the Danube with an avenue of planes fenced off by a wrought-iron railings by the Hungarian architect and craftsman Frigyes Feszi (1821-84).
