Kaposvár

Kaposvár, Regional capital city in Southwestern Hungary

Kaposvár is a city in Southwestern Hungary that spreads across hills in the Kapos River valley. Its streets show a mixture of Art Nouveau and Classical buildings that define its urban appearance.

A castle was built during the Mongol invasion and survived several Ottoman sieges in the 16th and 17th centuries. The city later became a regional center with important connections to neighboring areas.

The city became known as a gathering place for artists and creative thinkers, particularly around the work and home of Rippl-Rónai. His villa still reflects how creative minds met and collaborated in this place.

The city has train connections to Budapest, Zagreb, and Rijeka, offering direct access to these larger centers. Local industries in food processing and manufacturing are part of the working landscape here.

A large artificial lake north of the city offers walking and recreation paths that circle the water for about 8 kilometers. It is one of the longest of its kind in Hungary and attracts visitors for outdoor activities.
