Oradea is a prominent center for Secession and Art Nouveau architecture in Eastern Europe. This selection highlights the city's diverse heritage, ranging from the pentagonal star-shaped Oradea Fortress to the intricate glass-roofed passage of the Black Eagle Palace. It includes the 1903 Town Hall with its landmark clock tower and several early 20th-century palaces, such as the Ullmann and Füchsl buildings, characterized by their decorative ceramic elements and floral motifs.

Palatul Ullmann
Three-story Secession-style palace built in 1913, designed by architect Ferenc Löbl. The facade features distinctive green-glazed ceramic tiles and reliefs depicting sacred Jewish symbols, reflecting the building's historical connection to the city's Jewish community.

Neoclassical and Eclectic style town hall designed by architect Kálmán Rimanóczy Jr. and completed in 1903. The building features a 50-meter-high clock tower that offers panoramic views of the city and still plays the "Iancu's March" on the hour.
