More information on Andras Hess Square

This Medieval square in the Castle District was named after the man who printed the first book in Hungarian at the printing press at No.4 in 1473. No.3 is a former inn, which was named the 'Red Hedgehog' in 1696. Note the statue to Pope Innocent XI who was involved in organising the armies who recaptured Buda from the Turks; this was erected in 1936 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the liberation.
