Miskolc
Miskolc - Description
From the well-known find of a prehistoric man in the Avas, we know that men were living here twenty thousand years ago. The Hungarians settled here more than a thousand years ago and it became the centre of the "Miskóc" tribe from the 11th century.
They gave their name to the settlement. The historic kernel of today's city centre was developed up to the end of the 15th century. The important monuments of the city were built in the same century (18th) during the period of the great upswing. In the next century a terrible fire followed by a flood destroyed Miskolc. The inhabitants have overcome adversity, natural hazards and wars through hard work.

One of the most precious monuments in the city is the Greek Orthodox Church, built in the 18th century in late Baroque style. It preserves the memory of the Greek merchants, who settled in this city. The 16 metre high, richly ornamented iconostasis is one of the most beautiful icon screens in Hungary; the icon of Black Mary from Kazan was a present from tsarina Catharine the 2nd. The greatest Greek Orthodox collection may be seen in the Hungarian Orthodox Church Museum in Miskolc.
In the two-steepled Minorite church a splendid Rococo pulpit and beautiful pews can be admired. A special church among the Reformed churches of the city is the Plank Church made of lumber in the style of those built in Transylvania.
The biggest functioning ecclesiastical building of the region is the Synagogue with a neo Romanesque-Moorish style. Its three-aisled interior is one of the most beautiful in Hungarian Synagogues.
The city is very rich in museums. The Otto Herman Museum shows the history of Miskolc and there is also an exhibition of minerals. The university has its own museum and there are museums on iron-work, the history of metallurgy, paper manufacturing and one dedicated to the work of the scientist Otto Herman.
The people of Miskolc can be proud of the fact that in 1823 the first Hungarian stone built theatre was opened here, only to fall victim to fire later. The Classical building of the National Theatre of Miskolc replaced the former one and was finished in the year 1846. The Museum of Actors and History of Theatre depicts the wonderful history of theatre in Miskolc.
