Kecskemét

Located in the centre of the country, on the South Great Plain, Kecskemét is the seat of Bács-Kiskun County.

The city’s distinguishing feature is the dominance of its Secession style buildings.

The Secession style Town Hall, built at the end of the 19^th century, has a carillon which plays a tune composed by its famous native son –Zoltán Kodály.

The “Cifrapalota” (Cifra Palace), an early 20^th century Secessionist creation, is clad with majolica and mosaic ornamentation.

One of the buildings which characterises Kecskemét, is the Late-Baroque style, “Main-” or “Old-” Church.

The Zoltán Kodály Institute of Music, in the 18^th century, former Franciscan monastery, teaches music at a tertiary level to students from all parts of the globe.
