About
The Primate's Palace is a classicist palace, once the winter residence of Archbishop Batthyány and now the seat of the city's mayor. Visitors walk through the Hall of Mirrors and a gallery holding six 17th-century tapestries woven at Mortlake near London, found hidden behind the hall's walls in 1903. The route ends in a glass-walled oratory that looks down into the Chapel of St. Ladislaus.
