SOPRON<br />
T<br />
he written mention of this town comes<br />
from 859. Sopron was a popular residence<br />
of noble families, the memory of which is<br />
preserved in the Esterházy Palace, the Széchenyi<br />
Palace, and others as well. The town successfully<br />
resisted the Tatars, Turks, the Kuruc<br />
movements and the battles of the 1848 revolution<br />
and war of independence. Thus there are<br />
many medieval churches and houses standing<br />
in the town today. The symbol of the town is<br />
the Fire-tower (Tűztorony) built in 1676.<br />
