Szeged Dome – one of Hungary’s seven wonders

     

Thus, the Church of the Vow, or as more widely known, the Szeged Dome, was built. It is the only cathedral built in the 20th century in Hungary and has one of the largest church organs in Europe. It also boasts the second largest church bell in the country, which is called the Bell of the Heroes. It weighs almost 860 kilograms and is rung only seven times a year. The façade of the cathedral, with its majestic size, also becomes a magnificent backdrop for the performances presented here during the Szeged Open- Air Festival. The cultural event takes place on the cathedral square and is organized annually.

City of Water and Sunshine

     

The décor of the Anna Health‑, Thermal- and Pleasure Spa evokes the beauty of the past, and, along with the Újszeged Health- and Thermal Baths, welcomes visitors seeking cure and therapy. Liget Bath is one of the largest active pleasure baths of the region, whereas Shore Bath, located in its neighborhood, was established on the sandy beaches of the Tisza and shares a common area with the camp site. Enthusiasts of natural waters can visit Sziksósfürdő, located in a woodsy, green area 12 kilometres from Szeged, with its sodic-bottomed bathing lake, its children’s pools and rowing lake.

The excellent soil, the high number of sunny hours, scrupulous and painstaking selection and cultivation, and, naturally, centuries of experience and love of this spice have all played roles.

Its color, flavor,aroma, and potent seasoning ability elevate it to the rank of natural enjoyment spices and make it an indispensible ingredient among our additional nationally protected, trademarked products.
