	Local History Museum Tip Rating:

Gallery of antiquities

by yooperprof

An interesting assortment of locally produced artworks, historical artefacts, period furniture and clothing, and treasures from various archeological digs in the area around Gyor. Unfortunately, virtually all of the museum's labels were only in Magyar, but I enjoyed the museum nonetheless. It was a bit like going through your great-aunt's attic - you never knew what you were going to find in the next room. The museum is located in one of the grandest old palaces of the city, and is worth a visit for the architecture alone.

	Marian Column Tip Rating:

focus of attention

by yooperprof

This "Marian Column" - a tribute to the Virgin and Child - stands in one of Gyor's main market squares. I wonder how official state atheism under Communist rule affected the practice of religion here in Gyor and elsewhere in Hungary? Certainly there is a lot of evidence today that Gyor has been an important place of worship and devotion for many centuries. In that regard, I'm glad the historical record wasn't obliterated by the communists.

	Gyor Cathedral - interior Tip Rating:

Hail, Mary

by yooperprof

Gyor doesn't attract many tourists, so I was the only person inside the Cathedral for fifteen minutes or so. No - I take that back, the organist was there, practicing a Bach Prelude and Fugue. Gyor seems like a place where the Sunday morning Mass is still the highlight of the week for many people.

	The Ark of the Covenant Tip Rating:

The Ark of the Covenant

by grayfo

The 8 metre tall Baroque monument to the east of the Cathedral was constructed in 1731, at the request of Emperor Charles III (1685-1740), by the Viennese court sculptor Antonio Corradini to a design by Joseph Emanuel Fischer. The monument shows the Ark of the Covenant held aloft by two angels; legend has it that the Emperor ordered it to be made as an act of atonement for the violation of the Blessed Sacrament: during a Corpus Christi procession a soldier who was chasing a criminal is said to have knocked the Ark of the Covenant out of the hands of a priest and smashed it.

City Hall

by grayfo

One of the most impressive sights in Gyõr is the Italian designed City Hall, which has been in permanent use since the sixteenth century. Famed for its palatial appearance, stone columns, arched windows and highly detailed stonework, the building contains over 200 rooms and is used by the council or sometimes for concerts.

Maybe the powerful walls mean that some high prelate was not very well-liked by the inhabitants...

I was impressed by the cleanliness of this Hungarian town, and also by the way in which it was so clear that the people of this region took a great pride in maintaining the dignity and the beauty of their public works of art.

millenium marker

This sculptural relief is a new addition to the attractive cityscape of Gyor. It was created to commemorate the 1000th years of Christianity among the Magyars, and unveiled in 2001. It stands opposite the "front doors" of the Cathedral.
