And mostly just photos from last week.
There are many old grand palaces in the city, many in a state of disrepair, but things seem to be getting better as many have been repaired. There are some impressive pieces of architecture, much of which was from when this was a city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Orthodox Metropolitan cathedral.
The city was the European Capital of Culture in 2023 and there was a substantial investment in art funding, historical boards and improving facilities. This signage is a reminder of that event and the city was perhaps fortunate that the UK left the European Union, as 2023 was the year that the city chosen would have been in the UK.
Around a five minute walk away from the city centre is this large development of offices, residential and retail. There’s a large shopping centre and it’s all on-trend and exciting, clearly an area where a huge amount of money has been pumped in.
