History

The Benigni Palace was built in 1891 by Benigni Sámuel (1840-1903), butcher and wine merchant, president of the Industrial Association, as the first of the four palaces around the bridge over the Samos River. The palace is located at 2 Nagy (now Horea) Street. After Benigni's death, the tenement house became the property of the flour merchant Brecher Dávid. After the First World War, it was owned by the wine merchant Élián Viktor.
