Táncsics Mihály Street

In the Middle Ages this was “Saturday Street” or “Jewish Street”; Buda’s two medieval synagogues stood where Nos. 21–23 and 26 stand today.

Trivia

No. 9 once housed a prison where national figures like Miklós Wesselényi, Lajos Kossuth and Mór Jókai were held. The street, however, was named in 1948 after Mihály Táncsics, who was imprisoned here for nearly a decade.
