Koszeg

This may be the only town in the world where the bells ring midday an hour early; this is to commemorate the victory that Miklos Jurisics and his heroic defenders won over the Turkish army that Sultan Sulejman was leading against Vienna. The defenders of the castle resisted for 25 days; the siege finally ended on 30 August 1532.

Wonderful monuments surround the town centre, Jurisics Square. It is one of the nicest squares in the country: the impressive gate was built for the 400th anniversary of the Turkish siege. On the right side of Heroes' Gate, we can see the Labashaz (Jurisics Square 2.). Almost all of the houses here are monuments. In the Castle Museum in the late-Renaissance General's House (4-6), we can see the exhibit of craft-union relics and the works of the artisan - including those of the watchmaker, butcher, comb-maker, gingerbread maker, locksmith, barber, weaver and photographer.
The richly ornamented Sgraffitto House, with its decorative coat of arms and aspects of every architectural style from fifteenth-century Gothic to baroque, has been the Town Hall for 500 years. In the storied building of the Gold Unicorn Pharmacy Museum (11) we can see the nicest pieces of pharmaceutical history and a collection of medicinal herbs.
