Székesfehérvár, Administrative center in central Hungary

The city features medieval street layouts, baroque buildings, and the St Stephen Cathedral with frescoes created by artist J. Cymbal in 1768.

From 1027 to 1527, Székesfehérvár functioned as the coronation site for Hungarian monarchs, with 43 kings crowned and 15 buried within its walls.

The Vörösmarty Theater stands as the first permanent theater in Hungary, adding to the collection of historical structures including Gothic and Romanesque architecture.

The central location makes Székesfehérvár an essential transportation hub, connecting major routes between Lake Balaton and Lake Velence through rail and road networks.

The city survived the Mongol invasion in the 13th century when melting snow created protective floodwaters that prevented the advancing forces from capturing it.
