The center of the city is Ploshtad Svoboda (Freedom Square). There is a lot of Hapsburg architecture and a concrete monster as a town hall, as well as a lot of greenery and the Freedom Monument. During a construction campaign in the 19th century, many houses were decorated with small balconies and decorated facades. Along the main shopping street leading from the square, this architecture is particularly distinctive.
Worth seeing is also the Pantheon, which is visible from afar, as well as several museums (the Historical Museum, the Art Museum, the Natural Science Museum).
