Szolnok, County seat at Tisza and Zagyva rivers confluence, Hungary

Szolnok stands at the intersection of major transportation routes, functioning as a central hub for railway lines and highways connecting Budapest to eastern Hungary.

The settlement gained importance in medieval times as a distribution center for rock salt from the Maramures Mountains between 1001 and 1301 under Arpad dynasty rule.

The Damjanich Janos Museum, Szigligeti Theatre, and Neoclassical Town Hall form the primary cultural institutions that maintain Hungarian heritage in the region.

The thermal baths along the riverbank utilize underground waters from 957 meters depth, reaching temperatures of 56 degrees Celsius for therapeutic purposes.

The city maintains its position as a critical river port and transportation center, with multiple international rail lines converging at the Tisza bridge.
