Győr, one of Hungary's oldest cities, has a rich history and serves as an economic, intellectual, cultural, religious, and sports hub in Western Hungary, as well as the seat of Győr-Moson-Sopron county. King Saint Stephen made it a secular and ecclesiastical center by establishing a county and bishopric here. Known as the city of rivers, Győr owed its significance to its strategic location. In 1271, King Stephen V elevated Győr to a royal city, granting it rights such as electing judges, exemption from customs duties, holding markets, and the right to halt goods. During the Turkish era, it was a significant military stronghold. In the 17th and 18th centuries, its transformation into a fortress made it one of Hungary's most beautiful baroque cities. By the late 19th century, Győr became an industrial center, retaining its significant role to this day.
