Colourful Zsolnay tiling from P�cs Great Market Hall (Nagyv�s�rcsarnok) by Samu Pecz, 1897 Fov�m t�r Budapest, September 2017 �Pyrogranite refers to a type of ornamental ceramics that were developed by Zsolnay and placed in production by 1886. Fired at high temperature, this durable material remains acid and frost-resistant making it suitable for use as roof tiles, indoor and outdoor decorative ceramics, and fireplaces. Architects that used the material in their buildings include Mikl�s Ybl, �d�n Lechner, B�la Lajta, Samu Pecz, and Imre Steindl. It can be seen in buildings such as Matthias Church, the Hungarian Parliament Building, the Museum of Applied Art, the Geological Institute, the Kob�nya Church, the Gell�rt Baths (all these buildings are in Budapest), the Town Hall in Kecskem�t and many buildings, like the Post Office Palace, in P�cs.� ( Zsolnay , Wikipedia)
