The look of <strong>the</strong> <strong>town</strong> is determined<br />

by its surface waters:<br />

Fehér-Körös (White Cris) separating<br />

<strong>Gyula</strong> from <strong>Gyula</strong>vári,<br />

Élővíz-csatorna (Live-water<br />

Canal) connecting three settlements<br />

and string of lakes /<br />

ponds surrounding <strong>the</strong> <strong>town</strong>.<br />

The first people appeared<br />

along <strong>the</strong> Fehér-Körös on <strong>the</strong><br />

higher, flood free areas at <strong>the</strong><br />

time of <strong>the</strong> Neolithic age.<br />

The name of Körös-culture<br />

refers to it. Artefacts from<br />

<strong>the</strong> copper, bronze and iron<br />

ages prove <strong>the</strong> existence of<br />

former settlements.
