Esztergom’s central plaza was the scene of the Medieval marketplace and is walled by Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical buildings.

The square is almost 10,000 square metres and around half of the monuments around it are listed.

After Esztergom was liberated in 1683, Széchényi Square was the first place to be repopulated and its houses were occupied by the city’s richest merchants.
