Cegléd

Cegléd is a market town in Pest County situated between the Danube and Tisza rivers, surrounded by agricultural lands that shape the character of the region. The settlement occupies a substantial territory within this landscape defined by two major waterways.

The settlement first appeared in official records in 1290 through a royal decree by King Ladislaus IV. By 1364, it had gained exemption from customs duties, reflecting growing commercial importance.

The Reformed church remains a focal point of community life and local identity. Religious traditions have shaped how residents gather and celebrate together in this place.

The town is easily reached by train from Budapest, located roughly 70 kilometers to the northwest. Direct rail connections make it convenient for both day visitors and those commuting from the capital.

A natural thermal spring beneath the city feeds a spa facility offering warm water baths and health treatments. This geothermal feature takes advantage of the region's special geological conditions and draws visitors seeking therapeutic benefits.
