7th April – 17th April 2014

History of the area Roman merchants appeared in Arrabona during the 1st century BC and around 10 A.D. the Roman army occupied the northern part of Western Hungary, which they called Pannonia province. Although the Romans abandoned the area in the 5th century due to regular raids by Germanic and Hun tribes, the town still remained inhabited.

Bishop’s Castle The town received its Hungarian name Győr in the Middle Ages. Due to its favourable location it became a commercial centre and an important port on the Danube. The city, however, could not spare itself from the calamities of history: it was occupied by Mongols during the Mongol invasion of Hungary (1241–1242) and then was destroyed by the Czech army in 1271 to be finally reconquered by Ladislaus IV. After the Mongol invasion, the castle was rebuilt of stone and fortified and was declared an estate of the bishop. It was then that the castle was named Püspökvár (Bishop’s castle).The Bishop’s castle is actually only the center of the ecclesiastical.

The second Castle After the disastrous battle of Mohács (1526), Baron Tamás Nádasdy and Count György Cseszneky occupied the town for King Ferdinand I while John Zápolya also was attempting to annex it. During the Ottoman occupation of present-day central and eastern Hungary ( late 17th century), Győr's commander Kristóf Lamberg thought it would be futile to try to defend the town from the Turkish army. He burned down the town and the Turkish forces found nothing but blackened ruins, hence the Turkish name for Győr, Yanık kale ("burnt city"). During rebuilding, the town was surrounded with a castle and a city wall, designed by the leading Italian builders of the era.

Early 20th century - During war The town prospered in the interwar period, but it was severely damaged during World War II. The 1950s and 60s brought some changes: only big blocks of flats were built, and the old historical buildings weren't given care or attention. In the 1970s the reconstruction of the city centre began; old buildings were restored and reconstructed.

The Castle and Wall now The Castle and the Wall is now only a sight. The Bishop used to live here and its one of the most important places in Győr. Its situated at the meeting of rivers, Mosoni-Duna and Rába.

A heartwarming view Every evening, the old city centre, including the castle is lit up, offering a heartwarming view.
