Szekszárd
Seven hills with vineyards producing historic, fiery wines encircle the atmospheric town of Szekszárd, where Ferenc Liszt composed some of his famous pieces of music (Augusz House, 36-40 Széchenyi utca, with a memorial plaque on one of its walls). The piano and bust of the world-famous Hungarianborn composer and accomplished pianist are on display at the Liszt Ferenc Memorial Exhibition (1 Béla tér) housed on the upper floor of the old Town Hall. The birth place of the poet and literary translator, Mihály Babits, is now a museum (13 Babits M. utca) dedicated to his memory. The Baroque church of St. Ladislaus, standing at Béla tér, the centre of the town in the Middle Ages, is Europe's largest single-naved church. One of Hungary's finest Classicist town halls, with the surviving remains of the church of an 11th-century Benedictine abbey also stands here. The local history and archaeological exhibition at the Mór Wosinsky County Museum (26 Mártírok tér) details the history of the town and its surroundings. The House of Arts at the former synagogue (20 Mártírok tere) stages temporary exhibitions. Szekszárd is also home to the Deutsche Bühne Ungarn, Hungary's only German-language theatre (Garay tér).
