At the end of the 20th century, the Courtyard of Europe was established in connection with the Zichy Palace. The courtyard represents the architecture of 45 countries and regions, with its design and construction named after architects Nándor Litomericzky, Péter Takács, and Péter Varga. The inner park of Zichy Palace is connected to the new square by the Matyás Gate. The gate is one of the dominant structures of the square, evoking the buildings constructed during the reign of King Matthias through its shape and colors.
The western side of the square is bordered by houses from Estonia, Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Friesland, Norway, Denmark, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. There is also a house representing San Marino, as well as Romanian, Czech, and Slovak houses. The German house is the only one that is not new, as it is the oldest building in the city. The courtyard features the “Europa” Sculpture Gallery, which presents rulers and significant historical figures. Visitors to this cozy square can expect occasional outdoor events, but it is also worth visiting during quieter times, as it radiates a wonderful atmosphere.
The Courtyard of Europe in Komárno is one of the modern landmarks in the Podunajsko.
