Gyula

Gyula - Description

Flowers, rose gardens, green parks and romantic promenades - Gyula is an ideal destination for tourists looking for relaxation.
The symbol of the town is the fifteenth-century Gothic castle. It is the only undamaged castle made of bricks in Central Europe. There are performances held in the Gyula Castle yard every summer.
One of the most wonderful spas in Hungary is the Castle Bath. Opposite Gyula Castle on the 8.5-hectare primeval park grounds of Almasy Castle (Varkert), it has nine open-air and eleven indoor pools. Its 72 °C water, which springs from a 2500-meter depth, is used to cure diseases of the locomotor system, gynaecological diseases, neuralgia and gastric complaints of acid origin; it is also used for rehabilitation after accidents.
The Hundred-Year-Old Confectionery (Erkel square 1.) is the second oldest confectionery in the country (1840). In the saloons of the confectionery, complete with their original furnishings, the cake specialities on the shelves and the old tools and museum pieces in the display cases attract the tourists’ attention.
A famous native of the town is Ferenc Erkel (1810-93), the composer of the Hungarian national operas Bank ban and Laszlo Hunyadi and the composer of the Hungarian Hymn. In his former house, the Ferenc Erkel Memorial House (Apor Vilmos Square 7.), tourists can see his harmonium, his sheet music with his manuscript and his family photos.

Ladics House (Jokai Street 4.) is a museum house unique in Hungary for its significance and atmosphere. It exhibits the bourgeois lifestyle and flat design, with artistic furnishing, and porcelain from Meissen. (Jokai Street 4.). The Durer Hall (Kossuth L. Street 17.), named after the great German painter Albrecht Durer (whose father’s family was Hungarian and from Gyula), is where the castle history exhibition "The centuries of Gyula" takes place. In the museum of cubist painter Gyorgy Kohan (1910-66), we can see a very dramatic painting called the "Hungarian Guernica" (Beke avenue 35.).
The history of the town’s famous "gyula sausage" can be seen in the Meat Trade-Factory History Collection (Ketegyhazi Street 1.).
The collection of the Blessed Virgin's ornaments exhibits the wears of monastic orders (Apor Vilmos Square 11). The Farm Museum (8 kilometres from the town) shows the nineteenth- and twentieth-century lifestyle and agricultural tools of the peasants.
