You're standing on Fővám Square in Budapest, in front of the Great Market Hall. It's the biggest and oldest indoor market in the city. First, look up at the roof. Those colourful tiles are Zsolnay tiles from Pécs, and they were brought back when the building was restored. Then look at the entrance. The gate has a neo-Gothic touch, almost as if you're about to walk into a church.
