Targu Mures: County Council Building

This was the City Hall in of Marosvásárhely (now the County Council Building of Mures in Targu Mures). The bell tower is supposed to be a reference to the Pallazzo Publico in Sienna, an "archetype for nineteenth-century city halls" (Stefanut). But the polychrome ceramics are inspired by Szekler embroidery.


It was designed and built by Marcell Komor and Dezso Jakab (1907-1908).


The details are gorgeous.
