Parisian Arcade (Párizsi udvar) is one of the most impressive buildings the Hungarian capital is so famous for. The name of the building "Párisi udvar" comes from the Paris Street next to the building.
It was built between 1909 and 1913 on the plot that used to be one of the most expensive ones at that time. The building was commissioned by Central City Savings Bank which wanted to have a serious façade without excessive ornamentation.
Well, their concept of excessiveness was obviously very different from today’s.
The tender was won by German-born architect Henrik Schmahl who also designed numerous buildings and villas in Budapest, including Uránia Cinema.
The dimly lit interior passageway with its impressive glass dome offers the atmosphere of Oriental bazaar.
The roof covered with green and red majolica tiles looks like glittering cake icing. The majolica tiles and glazed bricks are also used in façade.
