Budapest Great Market Hall

Visited the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary, last year where, amongst many other attractions, they have a wonderful indoor market.

The Great Market Hall or Central Market Hall is the largest and oldest indoor market in Budapest. It is located at the end of the famous pedestrian shopping street Váci utca and on the Pest side of the Liberty bridge at Fővám square. 

The building was designed and built by Samu Pecz around 1897 and it offers a huge variety of stalls on three floors. It has a distinctive architectural feature is the roof which was restored to have colorful Zsolnay tiling from Pécs. 

The area size of the building is 10,000 square meters, which is covered by steel structure. During the World Wars it was completely damaged and then closed for some years. 

Throughout the 1990s restoration works brought the market back to its ancient splendour. 

The building was awarded with FIABCI Prix d’Excellence in 1999. The Central Market Hall is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the city.

As usual, my work is available to purchase as original Wall Art, in a variety of formats from stretched canvas or framed prints, metal or acrylic prints,or simply as standard prints for you to mount in your favourite picture frame. They are also available as greeting cards or printed onto iPhone or Galaxy phone cases, throw pillows or duvet covers or tote bags or shower curtains. Simply click on the image and you will be taken to my gallery where you will find full details.
