Living in Szekesfehervar

Szekesfehervar is the 9th largest city in Hungary and one of the most historic of this central European country. As tricky the city’s pronunciation may be for non-Hungarian speakers, the name itself means ‘seat of the white castle’ and comes from its key role in the country’s history. The coronation of the first kings of Hungary took place here, giving rise to the nickname “The Hungarian Crowning City”, and a number of them were also buried in Szekesfehervar. Expats living in Szekesfehervar will find it is steeped in history. Human habitation dates back to the 5th century BC and Roman, Mongol and Ottoman empires have all had a presence in the area and a period of prosperity in the 12th Century saw it become a station on the pilgrim road to the Holy Land. The city got its Hungarian name in 972 and locals nowadays often refer to it by the shorter – and easier to say - version of Fehervar.
