Prakfalvi Endre: Roman Catholic Churches in Unified Budapest - Our Budapest (Budapest, 2003)

Bibliography

This work introduces a selection of Roman Catholic churches built within the 130-year period. Discussed here, in the order of their blessing or consecration, are churches which can provide, within the framework of the present introduction, a graphic picture of the architectural, artistic, ecclesiastical and social history of the period surveyed. The distinctive buildings in this selection have been chosen to suggest, using specific examples, the main features characterising the ecclesiastical architecture of the period. Introduced in the book are the differences between the philosophies of reconstruction characterising the individual historical periods, the major representatives of Hungarian Art Nouveau from the turn of the century, the modernist and conservative trends of the long inter-war period and then the various experiments of a new phase of Modernism given a second chance after a long hiatus.
