It is a historic building of outstanding value of our town. It was built in baroque style. Building began in 1785 by the Greek community who had escaped from the Turkish rage in the Balkan during the 17th-18th century. It took 21 years to finish building it. Its inner decoration, such as the 16 metre tall iconostas made by Jankovich Miklós, its biblical scenes, sacred images and paintings on the columns fascinates the visitor. The Russian Tsarina Katherine 2nd presented the Mary of Kazan devotional picture, which can be seen in the nave, to the Hungarian Greek Church. Next to the church there is the Hungarian Orthodox Church Museum, which was opened in 1985. The artefacts of the museum were gathered from nine Hungarian orthodox churches.

The Avas has been the storage and hiding place of the town for centuries. More than 800 cellars were scooped into the dry and damp-proof andesite tuff of the Avas. The hollows run parallel to the inner side of the building 6-7 metres distant from each other. Most of them are 10-20 metres long but there are some 50-100 metres long hollows as well. The temperature of the hollows varies between 6-10 °C depending on their depth. It is the same in winter and summer. Most of the cellars are at least 300 years old and hardly any of them are younger than 200 years. The houses by the cellars are not particularly old because there was some kind of wine house in front of every 10th cellar only. Nowadays there are no vineyards on the Avas any more. According to the document of the Pozsony Chamber dated in the 18th century the wine of Miskolc could be distinguished from the wine of Tokaj-Hegyalja as far as its good quality is concerned.
The vineyards were completely devastated by the filoxera between 1885 and 1889.
There has always been some kind of a lookout tower on the top of the Avas Hill showing a beautiful view to the visitors. The last tower made of wood was burnt down. The present one was built on the 203 metre-high platform between 1962 and 1963. The lookout tower is 71 metres tall and was planned by Hofer Miklós.

This building is unique amongst the classicist buildings of Miskolc. This stone-built theatre was opened on 24th of August 1823 without public support but with the generous help of the citizens of Miskolc and with the grants of some charitable lords. It was the first stone-built theatre in the country. In 1843 Miskolc went through its biggest conflagration in which the theatre was burnt down as well. It was rebuilt based on Cassano József's plan in 1846. It was renovated several times throughout the years. The present reconstruction started in 1990. The reshaping, renovation and "the block building in" were done based on Bodonyi Csaba's plan. The Museum of Theatre and the History of the theatre was handed over in the autumn of 1996 and can be found at 3 Déryné Street. Legacies of the actors and actresses were put in place raising a monument to the memory of the actors who were attached to Miskolc. Material remains and documentary materials preserving visibly the history of the buildings of the theatre, its construction and reconstruction and the work being done at present.

It is a climatic health-resort built on the meeting point of the Garadna and Szinva valley, on the side of the Hámori Lake. The place took its name from Lilla Vay who was the wife of the minister of agriculture Count Bethlen András. The route leading from Miskolc to Lillafüred leads onto one of the most beautiful ravines of the country. Its two famous points are the Molnár-rock marked with a cross and the Puskaporos-ravine. The name of Lillafüred associated with the beautifully furnished Palace Hotel built between 1927 and 1930 according to the plan of Lux Kálmán. The hotel is surrounded by a terraced hanging garden and a huge park. The Szinva valley with its romantic beauty and the Hámori Lake can be seen from the park, the terraces and rooms of the hotel. The lake itself is not natural; the embankment closing the valley and dam the water of the Garadna back was built in 1813 initiated by the Fazola family. The Palace Hotel held the Writer's Congress in 1933 (its memory is shown with a memorial tablet on the wall of the Hermann Ottó's memorial house). In this event, organized by Kodolányi János, 75 writers took part. Among them were Móricz Zsigmond, Kosztolányi Dezső and last but not least József Attila. The beautiful lines of the "Ode" were created there at that time: "I'm sitting here on a glittering rock-bench..." The murmur of the waterfall of the Szinva tumbling down beside the Palace Hotel also belongs to the atmosphere of Lillafüred. Remarkable sights of the area of the holiday resort are the caves, famous for their dropstones and archaeological findings from the prehistoric times. Lillafüred can be reached from Miskolc on either public road or narrow-gauge railway. The railway opened in 1921 and goes through beautiful rocky land, picturesque valleys and even Garadna can be reached on the route.

Tapolca is a very old settlement. Anonymus already mentioned the name. Böngör and his son Bors and their descendants used to offer a sacrifice for their gods at the head of the hot spring. From this tradition stemmed the great Bors-Miskoucy clan which kept this place as their burial site after the adoption of Christianity and for this burial purpose a Benedictine monastery was built in honour of Péter and Pál. This monastery was already mentioned in charts in 1241. Tapolca is suitable not only for relaxing and cheerful entertainment but it offers healing as well. The hot springs flowing at the foot of the Castle Hill with radioactive qualities have been famous for their healing power for centuries. The water is suitable for cardiac disorders, artery and circulatory diseases, problems with stomach and the illness of the sympathetic nervous system. The Cave-bath opened in 1959 lessens the pain of those people who suffer from asthma. The lake used for rowing on the side of the forest is surrounded by trees in leaf and varied with islands, which contribute to visitor's comfort. Tapolca holds some of the Miskolc Summer' events from year to year. Leave a Comment

The entrance of the churchyard is a beautifully carved so called Székely-gate. There was a wooden church on this spot in 1698, which was rebuilt several times. It was pulled down in 1938 and a new church was built in Székely style. The church was burnt on. December 4th, 1997. The wooden church has been entirely rebuilt from public contributions on the base of the original planes and it was consecrated on May 2nd, 1999.

Dr. Páter Szabó Pius, a dean of Transylvanian origin came to Miskolc-Tapolca in 1934. His friend, Pataki Rudolf, showed him his two caves on Verebes top hollowed out of tuff and used as a sheepfold. The dean was fascinated by the beautiful view from the cave and therefore he proposed that a cave church should be built to serve the holidaymaker's spiritual well being. Pataky Rudolf offered an area of 650 square feet for this purpose. The building was started in 1934, based on the plan of an engineer from Miskolc, Menner László. The church was ordained on 28th of July 1935. The sculptures were designed and presented to the church by Máriahegyi János. The relics of the martyrs of Kassa are in the altar. The church was demolished during the war. Its rebuilding was finished in 1965 and it became the outparish of the Hejőcsaba parish church. It was renovated in 1995 and a natural burial ground was formed and a Székely-gate was erected to the memory of Dr. Páter Szabó Pius.

Take a half-hour ride on the narrow guage railway from Miskolc to picturesque Lillafured, passing through beautiful, wooded hillsides on the way.
The train goes on to the Garadna Valley (one hour from Miskolc), the site of Hungary's first foundry.
