A paper on 17th century tiled recieving rooms in royal residences in Transylvania and Northern Hungary. This study discusses possible Turkish inspiration for these rooms that had walls tiled with ornate colorful ceramic tiles. Based on remnants of tiles found at the royal estates in Gyulafehérvár (Alba Iulia, Romania) and Sárospatak and Regéc, the author tries to trace the origin of the tiles and their patterns. One such tiled room has been reconstructed in Sárospatak. By Pattantyús Orsolya.
