The townhall of Újpest, Budapest is one of the most beautiful and impressive buildings in the district, and it becomes even more stunning during the Christmas season, when it is adorned with colourful and festive lights.
The townhall was built between 1899 and 1900, in an eclectic-neoclassical style. It features a central dome, a clock tower, and statues of the Seven Chieftains of the Magyars and other Hungarian national leaders.
The Christmas light decoration of the townhall is a tradition that dates back to 2008, when the first light show was organized by the local government. Since then, every year, the townhall is illuminated with different patterns and themes, such as snowflakes, stars, angels, and candles.
