Szombathely

Szombathely straddles the Gyöngyös stream in western Transdanubia, and its position on Roman routes helped it grow from ancient Savaria into a regional centre. Founded in the 1st century AD as a colony of the Roman Empire, Savaria is generally regarded as the oldest city in present-day Hungary. The Iseum Savariense archaeological site preserves the remains of a sanctuary dedicated to Isis, while the Savaria Museum traces the area’s Roman and later past. Each August, the Savaria Historical Carnival brings costumed processions and craft traditions into the centre.
