These twin palaces frame the Pest end of the Elizabeth Bridge and extend as far as Ferenciek tere, named after Koburg Klotild Maria, who had them built. They house up-market shops and prime offices. There is a showroom of Budapest Gallery in the building on the southern side of the street. On the northern side is the Paris Arcade, with the quaint Moorish-Byzantine mood. Between the two palaces, there is a fine view of the Elizabeth Bridge and the waterfall below St. Gellert's monument, both illuminated at night.

The Klotild Palaces are 2 impressive old building (built at the beginning of the 20 century) that look just the same and they are just at the entrance to Pest from Erzsebet bridge.
The buildings are situated ina very elegant place in the Inner city, olnly 5 minouts away from the Famous Vaci street. Im not sure why are they in black color but i heard that this is because of all the coal and other material that made their way around Pest in the last 100 years, but i like thier blcak color!!!
This 2 buildings, with their beautiful architecture and sculptures had really attracted my eye when i was at my way to Erzsebet bridge.

Klotild-Palotak buildings are imposing Baroque towers rise like sentries at the foot of the Elizabeth Bridge.
