The Palace of the Grand Provost, Vac Photo

Photographer’s Note

The historic building of The Palace of the Grand Provost (4 Március 15. Square) was already a prebendal house in the 1700s but later, in the 1800s it was rebuilt. The all-time grand provost, the deputy bishop lived here. Above the stone-framed gate, a wrought-iron balcony can be seen. The triangle-shaped tympan is decorated with sculptures and vases. The building hosts the Diocesan Collection.

Vác

One of the most attractive Hungarian Baroque cities boasts a past dating back to the Bronze Age. It has been a centre of Catholic faith and a diocesan town for centuries.
The foundation of the diocese of Vác is unanimously attributed by historians to the first Hungarian king, St Stephen I. The completion of the bishop's cathedral is also associated with Géza I and, according to this monarch's wishes he was burried here. The interior decoration of the cathedral dates from the time of King St Ladislaus (László). The cathedral stands next to the bishop's palace together with the canon homes and a military barrack on what is today called King Géza Square (Géza király tér). The historic central area of Vác developed in the early 18th century when the once segregated German and Hungarian districts began to merge with one another while maintaining the original medieval town plan. Today the city is the cultural and commercial centre of the left bank of the Danube bend and the most visited tourist destination.

Hello George,
A splendid composition of this beautiful palace. I like the point of view and the framing from the column. Colours and clarity are both superb and the interesting sky makes for a nice atmosphere.

I like the POV giving depth and a foreground subject in a very pleasant way. Good colours and the lines of the composition create a distant point to connect them all.
