The brick-built square in front of the Votive Church is part of the same ensemble, laid out at the turn of the 1930s.
It’s an impressive plaza, walled by arcaded university and ecclesiastical buildings that give it superlative acoustics.
Since 1930 the square has hosted the Szegedi Szabadtéri Játékok, a festival of opera, concerts, theatre and literature recitals in summer.
