Kaposvár, Regional capital city in Southwestern Hungary

The settlement extends across hills along the Kapos River valley, featuring a mix of Art Nouveau and Classical architectural structures throughout its streets.

The original castle, constructed during the Mongol invasion, endured three captures by Ottoman forces through the 16th and 17th centuries before its final recapture.

The Rippl-Rónai Róma Villa contains the preserved works and living spaces of the notable Hungarian artist who frequently gathered with other creators there.

The city maintains direct railway connections to Budapest, Zagreb, and Rijeka, while supporting industries in meat processing, sugar refining, and electronic manufacturing.

Lake Deseda, the longest artificial lake in Hungary, circles the northern section of Kaposvár with 8 kilometers of recreational paths.
