Szeged

Szeged is the largest city of southern Hungary, on the Tisza River near the Serbian and Romanian borders. A medieval royal town and then an Ottoman garrison from 1543 to 1686, it was almost destroyed by the great flood of 1879 and rebuilt to a planned design with ring boulevards. Its university and its paprika and salami industries made it a regional centre.
