SZEGED<br />

This beautiful city on the bank of the Tisza has a significant economic and cultural past. Its first written mention comes from<br />

1183. In 1879 the settlement was washed away by the great Tisza flood, but it was rebuilt in three years with unbelievable<br />

dynamism allowing it to became a modern city. The most important museums of the city offer numerous interesting sights:<br />

the Móra Ferenc Museum, the Paprika Museum and the Castle Museum. The most characteristic building of the city is the<br />

Votive Chrurch of Our Lady of Hungary (Fogadalmi templom or Dóm). The buildings around the Church house university<br />

institutions, the Theological Academy and the episcopal cathedral operate therein . The Szeged Open-Air Festival, the most<br />

important cultural programme of Szeged, has been organized in the city for 80 years.<br />
