The County Hall, Pecs (must see)
The County Hall is probably the most beautifully decorated building on Sz茅chenyi Square. Some of the decorations were made by the Zsolnay factory foremen. It was built in 1897. In 1954 part of the building burned down, but later it was reconstructed with a new roof that was simpler than previously. Notably, the front space of the building from the side of the street was constructed by Jesuits between 1716 and 1726. They took some tombstones from the Turkish cemetery. Curious visitors may notice wonderful frescos made by Ern艖 Gebauer, above the stairs, which describe the foundation of the first university of P茅cs. There is also a small park in front of the building where you can see a marble bust of Leonardo da Vinci.
