Gyor, Hungary
"The town of rivers", or Arrabon, as the Romans called it, is a nearly 1000-year-old bishopric where Napoleon won a battle in 1809. Gyor is
famous for its schools and industry. It has a nice downtown and it is liked because of its baroque buildings. The ancient "heart" of the town is at
the junction of three rivers - the Danube, Raba and Rabca - at Kaptalan Hill. Puspokvar (Kaptalan Domb 5/a.), the residence of the bishops
of Gyor, can be easily recognised by the Csonka Tower. Its oldest buildings are 'Lakotorony', built in the 13th century, and the Gothic 'Doczy
Chapel', built in the 15th century.
