This impressive, eclectically styled palace, reminiscent of Tuscan
architecture, surrounds the Kodály Circus forming a complete circle. The
palace was designed and built by József Kauser, one of the most famous
Hungarian architects of the Austro-Hungarian empire, who was also
involved in the construction of the St. Stephen’s Basilica and the
Hungarian State Opera House. This exquisitely designed architectural
and historical monument is the most imposing of the entire avenue.
Passers by and residents alike have long enjoyed the harmony of the
works of the famous composer, Kodály. The composer used to live in
one of the four buildings, which now houses the Kodály Museum. The
circus is decorated with gracious statues of prominent figures of
Hungarian history.
