Bécsi kapu tér & Carmelite Church
Bécsi kapu tér
A Baroque square on the Rába, ringed by the Carmelite church, Ottlik Palace and remnants of the old city walls. It is the most photogenic corner of the old town.
Vienna Gate Square takes its name from a city gate that once led toward Vienna. It lies by a branch of the Mosoni Danube on the north side and connects to the old town on the south. The Carmelite church on the square was built in 1721–1725. Its oval plan and yellow façade are striking. Opposite stands Ottlik Palace, and to the west you can see 16th-century city wall and bastion remains, with an underground wall exhibition. In the middle of the square stands a statue of the poet Károly Kisfaludy. Crossing the bridge from here leads to Radó Island and the riverside promenade.
