Gyula, Medieval fortress town in Békés County, Hungary.

The Gothic brick castle stands in the center of Gyula, surrounded by a network of streets containing numerous architectural monuments from different periods.

The Ottoman Empire captured Gyula Castle in 1566 after a 63-day siege, leading to the town becoming a sanjak center within the Temeşvar Eyalet.

The town maintains active Hungarian, Romanian, and German communities, each contributing to local traditions through dedicated cultural institutions and religious buildings.

Visitors can reach Gyula via the M44 motorway from Budapest in approximately 2.5 hours, with future road improvements expected to reduce travel time.

The thermal bath complex, established in 1942, contains multiple pools set within a centuries-old castle park featuring mature trees and gardens.
