Cifra palace
The Cifra Palace ( Hungarian Cifrapalota ) in the Hungarian city of Kecskemét is a town house and an important example of Hungarian Art Nouveau .
The design of the building goes back to Géza Márkus , the completion took place in 1902. The facade of the house is completely decorated with majolica panels from the Zsolnay Porcelain Manufactory , the motifs of which are borrowed from Hungarian folk art. The most striking style element of the panels, which were produced using the sgraffito technique, are floral motifs. The ceramics are set in round floral or mushroom-shaped elements. The roof of the palace is covered with green and light brown roof tiles.
Today the building houses the József Katona Museum, in which works from the Marcell Nemes collection are shown.
