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.
