	Old City Wall Tip Rating:

Tall Wall

by yooperprof

In the 1600s, Gyor was the last outpost of the Habsburg Empire. It was an important fortress and bulwark of the Austrian army, at a time when Buda and Pest were firmly under the control of the Turks. (And long before that, it had been an important Roman military fortress.) Vestiges of Gyor's frontier heritage are very visable, especially down along the Raba river, where the City Wall has been well-preserved.

	Public Statuary in Gyor Tip Rating:

globe, lizard, and saint?

by yooperprof

In the pedestrianized town center, there are a number of amusing public sculptures by contemporary artists. You can spend some time trying to figure out what their inner meaning is, or can you simply enjoy the skill with which they have created these pieces.

	Kisfaludy Statue Tip Rating:

The play's the thing

by yooperprof

Gyor has been an sigificant city in the creation of the modern identity. After visiting the city, I was interested to read about some of the historical figures commemorated there. This statue of Karoly Kisfaludy is in a prominent location, in one of the most important squares in Gyor. Kisfaludy lived from 1788 to 1830, and was a playwright important in the creation of a Magyar national theatre in the days when Hungary was still yoked to Habsburg Austria. His play "Tatars in Hungary" is credited with being the first celebration on stage of the Magyar fatherland.

	Eminent Monks Tip Rating:

Meeting of minds

by yooperprof

This sculpture of two of the most important cultural figures of Magyar monasticism stands not far from the Marian Column. Gergely Czuczor (1800-1866) was a Magyar poet and philologist. His 1848 epic "The Alarm" was a clarion call for his national brothers, and earned him a place in prison for two years. As a Benedictene monk, he was a brother to Anyos Jedlik (1800-1895), a monk with extensive interests in the sciences and mathematics, partically physics. He created an early and efficient dynamo, an electromagnetic rotating device that predated the famous invention of Siemens. He served at the Budapest University both as a Dean of the Arts faculty and as Rector of the entire university. 19th century Hungary was an exciting center of culture and progress.

	Well-tended gardens of Gyor Tip Rating:

July Blooms

by yooperprof

A good way to measure a city's self-esteem is to look at its flower beds. Gyor's public spaces had plentiful flowers, carefully selected, weeded, and watered. This flower garden was on the small island in the middle of one of Gyor's rivers.

	Town Square with Restaurants Tip Rating:

anyone for venison?

by yooperprof

I didn't eat at either of these places, so I can't give them recommendations, but they certainly have a pleasing location. The statue of a man with a deer in the center of the square is part of Gyor's excellent program of public sculpture.

	River Crossing Tip Rating:

bridge over troubled waters

by yooperprof

Two river converge in Gyor. Probably a good reason why this place became an important military outpost and later a significant town. From here it's not a long way to the Danube.
