Szombathely, Ancient administrative center in Vas County, Hungary
Szombathely extends along the Gyöngyös and Perint streams where the Alpokalja mountains connect with the Little Hungarian Plain at 209 meters elevation.
Founded in 43 AD as Savaria, the settlement functioned as the capital of Pannonia Superior province and contained an imperial residence with public baths.
The name Szombathely derives from its traditional Saturday markets, while archaeological findings display Roman, medieval, and contemporary architectural elements throughout the city.
The tenth largest Hungarian city maintains strong transportation links through its position near the Austrian border, featuring extensive rail and road networks.
Saint Martin of Tours was born in this location when it was known as Savaria during the Roman period.
