The art nouveau, towered Postal Palace - today the Money Museum - has stood like a castle above the square since 1926, and since its reconstruction it has been a museum of special banking history artefacts, with a collection of banknotes and medals including a St Stephen's era denarius, and a roof terrace overlooking the whole square.

The benches and flowerbeds of Széll Kálmán Square are decorated with 30 miniature bronze sculptures, while Antal Plank's sculptures - a snail, a bird and an umbrella - were placed there during the renovation to prevent skateboarders from sliding across the square.

The square is dominated by the fan-shaped metro building, which has been in operation since 1972 and houses Budapest's longest escalators.

"Kalef" was a popular name for the square in the 1960s and 1970s, derived from the word kalefaktor, meaning heater, as the square was once the marketplace of the heater operators, who could be hired to unload and load the fireplaces in the mornings.
Kálmán Széll, the square's first and current namesake, was also Hungary's Minister of Finance and Prime Minister.
The square is also home to one of Budapest's iconic meeting points, the clock.
