Baja, County administrative center in Bács-Kiskun, Hungary.
The second largest city in Bács-Kiskun County sits at an elevation of 95 meters, surrounded by the Gemenc forest and Danube River.
Baja received its town rights in 1696 after the Ottoman period, developing into a regional center through migration of Germans, Croats, and Serbs.
The Fisherman's Soup Boiling Festival represents local culinary traditions with participants preparing fish soup according to regional recipes.
The city maintains several educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and transportation connections, serving as the primary service center for Northern Bácska.
The General Assembly of Baja acquired urban county status in 2022, granting the city additional administrative powers typically reserved for counties.
