Szarvas, Agricultural town in southeastern Great Hungarian Plain, Hungary.
Szarvas spreads along the banks of the Körös River, featuring a carefully planned layout with wide streets and traditional Hungarian architecture at its center.
The settlement, first documented in the 13th century, experienced abandonment during Ottoman wars until Slovak settlers revitalized the area in 1720.
The town maintains a dual Hungarian-Slovak heritage through its festivals, language schools, and traditional celebrations throughout the calendar year.
The municipal area contains multiple thermal springs, supporting a modern spa complex that provides therapeutic treatments and recreational swimming facilities.
Hungary's first agricultural educational institution opened in Szarvas in 1780, establishing the foundation for modern farming practices across the country.
