Photographer’s Note

This shot was taken at night in the main square of Vác.
On the left you can see the historic building of the Church of the Whites and the convent (Március 15. Square). They got their name after the white reverend worn by Dominican monks. They started to build their church in 1699; however, due to the Rákóczi War of Independence the work with the interior decoration began only in 1755. With its plain outlook, the one-naveled church is in harmony with the atmosphere of the square, while its interior Rococo decoration is much richer. The unique Baroque burial place was found in the cript of the church by archeologists. It is exhibited in the medieval cellar of the Greek Church. The neighbouring building was originally the nunnery of the Dominicans.
