Szekszárd, Wine capital in Southern Transdanubia, Hungary.
Szekszárd stands at the intersection of Transdanubian Hills and Great Hungarian Plain, offering a diverse landscape of rolling hills and erosional valleys.
The town's history dates to 1015, with King Béla I establishing a Benedictine monastery in 1061 that marked the beginning of its religious significance.
The wine region produces Hungary's distinguished red wines, including Kékfrankos and Kadarka varieties, through 2,187 hectares of local vineyards.
The city connects to major transportation routes through motorways M6 and M9, while maintaining rail service between Rétszilas and Bátaszék.
The neo-Classical county hall, Augusz manor, and Mihály Babits birthplace form an architectural ensemble representing different periods of Hungarian history.
