Városháza

Városháza

The funeral of football’s great Ferenc Puskás was held at Budapest’s Saint Stephen Basilica yesterday, and he was laid to rest in the building’s lower church. So the whole atmosphere was rather solemn because the memorial service was aired live on Hungarian Television (MTV), Duna Televízió and M2. It makes me think. This is because only people with great contributions to the country will be given such an honour when one dies. He is such a great man here. Today’s photo is the detailing of ”Városháza” of the III. District in Budapest.

Make a guess, who works here? Hint: Every district has one Városháza.

    yes, they looked really ‘manly’ and some even very sexy with this olden days ‘costume’, i’ve always like to pause and ”watch” these ‘strong men’ as the pillars details than the ‘women ones’ especially when they are in holding posture;) very MANLY…!

  3. Hi. It’s very odd that I found your site, but I’m very glad I did. I am a Canadian of Hungarian descent who now lives in Egypt, and I love to take photos myself. Mine is not a comment about Varoshaza, but I just wanted to make contact. I was doing a search on St. Barbara in Hungary, knowin that St. Barbara was the patron saint of the school which my uncles (whom I never knew) attended in Hunary when they were young, and I found your site. Thanks.
