Budapest is an amazing city packed with sights of different eras. Having lived rich and prosperous history, Hungarian capital is a paradise for the architecture aficionados. One of the most spectacular architectural features of Budapest is the presence of extremely interesting Art Nouveau buildings that define the cityscape. Here Art Nouveau took a unique turn driven by the architectural geniuses of the likes of Ödön Lechner and boasting colourful tiles from Zsolnay factory.
Hungarian Art Nouveau can be compared to Catalan modernisme movement. With colourful and mesmerising design, Lechner’s creations are in the same line with Gaudi’s heritage.

Hi, nice pics but I have to pick you up on the 2nd pic which may well be the “Hungarian State Treasury” today, but actually was originally built as the Postal Savings Bank (Postatakarékpénztár). Notice the ceramic bees, decorations which were representative of banks and other savings institutions.
Thanks for checking out and the info! 🙂
