Kőbánya (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkøːbaːɲɒ], German: Steinbruch, lit. 'Quarry') is the 10th district of Budapest (Hungarian: Budapest X. kerülete) and one of the largest by territory. It is located in southeast Pest, easily accessible from the downtown by Metro 3, whose terminus is named Kőbánya-Kispest.
It has strong industrial and organized labour traditions; as such, it suffered a decline after the collapse of the Hungarian People's Republic in 1989–90. Today, the district is rebuilding itself into a living area for the middle class. Due to its large size, there are several diverse areas within Kőbánya, each with different architecture.
