Questo č il massimale della spaziosa sala principale dell' Universitŕ di Debrecen.

Debrecen ha forti tradizioni commerciali (che ha un ruolo simile in Ungheria come Bologna, 'La Grassa' č in Italia: centro educativo finanziato dai ricchi della societŕ civile). Uomini d'affari locali sono stati intensamente partecipa al finanziamento del Collegio nel 16° secolo e universitŕ enorme edificio nel 1932 (durante la crisi finanziaria in tutto il mondo!).

Debrecen č la seconda piů grande cittŕ Ungeresa(Budapest, la capitale, č la piů grande.)

This is the ceiling of the spacious main hall of the University of Debrecen (The 25.000 students and the widest range of studies in one institute make University of Debrecen one of Hungary's best university offering breathtaking interdisciplinar opportunities).

Evocative brief historical overview of the university:
This building of the University was erected in 1932 to repatriate to Hungary the Faculities of the University of Kolozsvár after it became part of Romania after the peace treaty of 1918.

The legendary Reformated College of Debrecen was found in 1538, then many filials were settled in various Hungarian cities and towns, where there was quite enough population of calvinist, or as it was once called in Hungary 'helvetian' religion.

Today Debrecen is the cultural centre of the Northeastern, Subcarpathian (Ukraina) and the Western Transylvanian (Romania) Hungarian people and Hungarian centre of reformated church (Debrecen is often called as calvinist Rome). The neighbouring countryside is the territory of Hortobagy (the world famed 'puszta', listed as UNESCO World Heritage, National Park).

Debrecen has really strong commercial traditions (it has a similar role in Hungary like Bologna, 'La Grassa' has in Italy: educational centre financed by rich civil society). Local businessmen were intensively taking part in financing the College in the 16th century and huge university building in the 1932 (during the worldwide financial crisis!).

Hi Jalab

Hi Jalab,

I like the way you managed the exposure of this shot and cropped it to present it finally here. The light is very mild as well as the shadows, and the building itself is very beautiful. I am pretty sure it would look completely different in the evening, but as for the daylight view - you presented it perfectly. Congratulations!

Hi Jalab
Now there's a very nice and elegant ceiling, a good photo too with symetry and well measured exposure.
Have a nice week end JY

Hello Jalab,
a good photo of the beautiful and elegant main hall of the university but the reference in your note on the Kolozsvár University is a mistake: that university was moved to Szeged with all the faculties and professors according to the decision of the Hungarian Parliament in 1921 while the Debrecen University was established already in 1912 thanks to the Act XXXVI./1912. as Royal Hungarian University of Debrecen. Therefore the ancestor of the University of Debrecen is the Reformated College of 1538 while the ancestor of the University of Szeged is the Academia in Kolozsvár (today Cluj-Napoca) founded by Duke Báthori in 1581.
Best whishes

Hi Jalab,
Absolutely amazing ceiling and details of the interior
of this university. People of Debrecen must be proud of
their architecture.
Cheers,
Robi
