Kalocsa, Religious center in the Great Plains, Hungary
The town stands on fertile grounds near the Danube River, featuring a grand cathedral, an archbishop's palace, and extensive paprika pepper fields.
King Stephen I established Kalocsa as one of Hungary's bishoprics in 1001, which was later elevated to archbishopric status in the 11th century.
Local artisans known as writing women create distinctive embroidery patterns with flower motifs, which appear on clothing, textiles, and decorative items.
The House of Folk Art museum and Paprika Museum present exhibits about regional traditions, agricultural practices, and the significance of paprika cultivation.
The Cybernetic Light Tower reaches 26 meters in height, commemorating Nicolas Schöffer, the pioneering kinetic sculptor born in this town.
