Zrenjanin City Hall

Present-day Zrenjanin (formerly known as Veliki Bečkerek / Nagybecskerek / Großbetschkerek / Becicherecul Mare) was a seat of Torontaliensis county from 1779.

Construction works for a new building started in 1816 and were finished in 1820 under project of architect Joseph Fischer.

From 1885 to 1887, county building was re-constructed under projects of two renowned architects from Budapest, Gyula Pártos and Ödön Lechner.

The county building was added by right and left wings, modernised facade in Neobaroque, new balcony, Zsolnay roof tile patterns and several other things like electrical lightning and telephone line.

Main stairs are decorated by three stained glasses, depicting personifications of "Justice", "Wisdom" and "Power".
