Geographical centre of Hungary, Geographic location in Pusztavacs, Hungary.

The geometric center point of Hungary sits at coordinates 47.180086 latitude and 19.503736 longitude within the Danube-Ipoly National Park boundaries.

The geographical center was officially established in 1978 with the construction of an 11-meter high octagonal pyramid designed by architect József Kerényi.

The location features a memorial dedicated to the thirteen martyrs of Arad and contains ruins of a fifteenth-century church near the center point.

The site is accessible from Budapest Airport, located 35 kilometers away, and offers various opportunities for hiking through the protected natural areas.

The original commemorative tower constructed in 1978 underwent complete reconstruction in 2004 after a fire destroyed it in 2001.
