Corvinus University of Budapest

"Corvinus University of Budapest, located on the banks of the Danube River in the heart of the city, is one of Hungary's most prestigious universities. Its main building, an imposing structure with neoclassical and modernist elements, is situated at the intersection of Fővám Square and the university’s campus. The building that houses the university's main offices and faculty was originally constructed in the early 20th century, between 1901 and 1903, as a part of the city's expansion during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The design of the building blends classical architectural forms with influences from the Art Nouveau movement, reflecting the era's desire to combine historical grandeur with modern design. Originally known as the "Közgazdasági Egyetem" (Economic University), it was later renamed to Corvinus University in honor of King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. The most notable feature of the building is its grand façade, which is adorned with classical columns and ornate decorations. The building faces the Danube, offering picturesque views of the river and the city skyline. Inside, the university combines traditional and contemporary elements, with spacious lecture halls, modern seminar rooms, and cutting-edge facilities for students and faculty."
