Historical background

The Fővám tér (The Customs Sqaure) is well-known for the gorgeous Budapests' Market. The building had a truly complicated bio. There was a fire during construction, there were the bombings of the World War II as well, and the reconstruction it the 90ies, and we can't tell you what was the most imporntant and contributed mostly to the building's look. This huge and shiny mastodont has several levels, with fruits and veggies, with refrigiratios filled with meat and fish, and with cafes and traditional hungarian souvenirs. The other significant landmark here is the M4 station. The Fővám tér and the Szent Gellért tér stations created by Spora Architects got several designer awards for their modern look and symbolic post-modern meaning. The architects call these stations the Ungergroung City Social Utopia.
