Kalocsa

Kalocsa is a town in southern Hungary on the plain east of the Danube. King Stephen I made it the seat of an archbishopric in the early 11th century, alongside Esztergom, and its archbishops headed the church across much of southern Hungary. It is known today for its baroque cathedral and archbishop's palace, its paprika and its colourful folk embroidery.
