Szyumeg Fortress

Resting in Hungary in the vicinity of Lake Balaton, be sure to visit the fortress Šyumeg, located in the city of the same name. By order of Bishop Vesprem, its walls began to be erected in the second half of the XIII century, and construction and modernization continued until the XVI century. The fortress guarded trade and pilgrimage routes to Constantinople and Palestine, and later became a key point of defense of the Transdanubian lands. It is located on a hill and from its walls opens a beautiful panorama. Today there are several museums and open expositions on the territory of the fortress.

The fortress is located near the central bus station of the city of Szyumeg, located 110 km west of Szekesfehervar and 170 km from Budapest.
