NYÍRBÁTOR, HISTORICAL PROMENADE

 

The primary function of the Historical Promenade is to provide a pedestrian access between  two high-value monuments: the Minorite and Reformist churches. After its transformation, the promenade itself also becomes into a tourist attraction.

Beyond the permanent set of statues, the space offers grounds for temporary exhibitions, events and concerts in this open air gallery. Gastronomic and commercial functions are also placed randomly to encourage visitors enjoy a longer stay in the city and use the promenade. Water architecture provides a pleasant thermal comfort in the summer heat.

The new promenade offers sights and activities for all visitors, let them be locals or tourists. By exhibiting local history, this newly redeveloped public space enhances patriotism and improves the quality of local built environment.
