Szentes, Historical town in southeastern Hungary
Szentes lies along the Tisza River in Csongrád County, forming the third largest population center with 30,000 residents across its developed neighborhoods.
The medieval settlement, first documented in 1332 as Scenthus, contained a stone church dedicated to Andrew the Apostle and descendants of the Ond Hungarian tribe.
The Koszta József Museum in the former County Hall building preserves local artifacts and hosts regular exhibitions highlighting regional heritage and traditions.
The thermal spa complex features multiple pools filled with mineral-rich water from deep wells, offering both recreational swimming and medical treatments.
The town earned the title of National Sports Town in 1996, particularly excelling in water polo with professional teams and training facilities.
