History
Tapolca has always been an important crossroads; under the Romans both the road between Rome and Aquincum and the road that linked Savaria (Szombathely) and Arrabona (Győr) passed through here. The Romans were followed by the Avars and, in turn, by the Slavs, who called the area Topulcha, from the Slavic root word for 'hot springs'. Tapolca's original source of wealth was wine - a legacy of the Romans - but it only really appeared on the map when the Bakony bauxite mining company set up its headquarters here.
