Kalocsa
Bács-Kiskun, Hungary
Why visit Kalocsa?
Kalocsa is one of the oldest towns in Hungary. The present archbishopric, founded about 1135, is a development of a bishopric said to have been founded in 1000 by King Stephen the Saint.
It sits in a marshy but highly productive district, near the left bank of the Danube River. The residents of Kalocsa and its wide-spreading communal lands are chiefly employed in the cultivation of paprika, fruit, flax, hemp and cereals, in the capture of waterfowl and in fishing.
