What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Kavala City Hall is admired for its striking and unique Hungarian castle architecture, a rare sight in Greece. While the building itself is a significant landmark, some visitors note it appears a bit neglected, though the surrounding gardens are consistently praised for being well-maintained and pleasant.
"It was built by the Hungarian tobacco-trader Pierre Herzog and it is a miniature of a Hungarian castle. One of the most impressive buildings of the city and architecturally “foreign” to any other structures. It houses the municipality of Kavala since 1937."
