Kossuth Lajos utca is a fine, tree-lined street with dozens of architectural gems. The first of interest is the former Orthodox synagogue , built in 1893 and now the Zsinagóga Galéria with rotating exhibitions. The former neoclassical synagogue , dating from 1845, is around the corner and is a modern-art gallery. You’ll pass several outstanding baroque and Eclectic buildings along the way, including the county hall , with a wrought-iron grid above the main door of (from left) Faith, Charity and Hope by Henrik Fazola, a Rhinelander who settled in Eger in the mid-18th century. Walk down the passageway and you’ll see two more of his magnificent works: baroque wrought-iron gates decorated on both sides. The one on the right shows the seal of Heves County at the top and has a comical figure on its handle. The more graceful gate on the left is decorated with flowers and grapes. The wrought-iron balcony and window grilles of the rococo Provost’s Palace were also done by Fazola.
