Piliscsaba is a village in Hungary located to the extreme northwest of Pest County near the border of Komárom-Esztergom in a valley between the Buda and Pilis hills. It is accessible by Road 10 and lies on the Budapest-Esztergom rail line, 14 km from Budapest. The surrounding hills are 200-400 meters high.
Unemployment is about 4%, and a large proportion of the population commutes to Budapest (for work or school). Piliscsaba is divided into three parts: Magdolna-völgy (a new area), Klotildliget, and the area below the railroad.
Klotildliget is surrounded by a forest and two larger hills, known as Kiskopasz and Nagykopasz. The western part of the town contains a subsidiary of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University, which is built on the site of former Soviet barracks.
Imre Makovecz, a Hungarian architect designed a famous building callled the Stephaneum in the village. [1]
