The shop sign of the former Basa Lamp House—depicting a Turkish pasha sitting inside a lamp and smoking a hookah—is a popular photo spot. Like so many artistically crafted trade signs decorating our city, this one is also the work of artist Mária Ecsedi.
Almost opposite it is the simple, tasteful shop sign of the Pite bakery and pastry shop. Both are truly unique elements of this charming little street, offering special photo opportunities in every season. The works of Mária Ecsedi greet us in countless places as we walk through the city. Having graduated from the Department of Painting at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, the artist moved to Székesfehérvár after completing her studies. Throughout her diverse career—alongside woodcuts, graphic works, textiles, and wooden sculptures—the artistic shop signs and the figures of the Clocktower Clockwork (Órajáték) hold a particularly dear place in the hearts of Székesfehérvár's locals
