How to decode this string? -> b'Katastr\\xc3\\xa1ln\\xc3\\xad mapa'

Question

this string is html content b'Katastr\\xc3\\xa1ln\\xc3\\xad mapa', that I need decode. I tried this str(htmlContent).encode('utf-8') but not succesfully.

str(htmlContent).encode('utf-8')

The result is still b'Katastr\\xc3\\xa1ln\\xc3\\xad mapa'
