It is well worth taking a stroll around Zichy Park—this time looking past the greenery to admire the ornaments of the surrounding buildings! Here you will find a Roman tombstone of enigmatic fate, as well as a beautifully decorated residential house that once served as the home of a poet and even a grand duchess

The unique feature of the Wertheim House, located at 1 Zichy Park, is a Roman tombstone embedded in the ground-floor section of its side façade. According to its inscription, this fragmentary stone slab dating from the 2nd century was part of a family funerary monument; it remains unknown exactly how and from where it came to be built into the wall of this historic building. Researchers have long been fascinated by this mystery. It is possible that it belonged to the private collection of the Wertheim family, the former owners of the house, who were avid collectors. In the 19th century, the high society of Székesfehérvár built its residences along the western side of the park. The eclectic residential building at No. 7, which also features Romantic elements, was built around 1870; its standout ornaments are its enclosed balcony and the relief sculptures beneath the windows. In the early 1900s, the house was home to Archduchess Elisabeth Amalie of Austria (Habsburg-Lorraine), and later, poet István Keszei also lived here.
