The Vigado of Pest, Budapest
The Vigadó (merry-making) is the premier venue for entertainment, built between 1859 and 1864. Designed by Frigyes Feszl it is a most outstanding work of Romanticism. Its murals and statuary decoration are also the achievements of the greatest masters of the era, Károly Lotz and Mór Than.
The prestigious Vigadó of Pest still exists,
hosting not only entertaining events, but also a gallery and a concert and
theatre hall.
