-
Ferenc Erkel Museum
Close by the Gyula Castle is the Ferenc Erkel Museum. It has a Dürer Room devoted to archaeological finds - pottery, jewellery and weapons - from the region.
-
György Kohán Museum
The György Kohán Museum , in quiet Göndöcs-Népkert, is Gyula's most important art museum, with more than 3000 paintings and graphics bequeathed to the city by the artist upon his death in 1966. The large canvases of horses and women in dark blues and greens, and the relentless summer sun of the Great Plain, are quite striking and well worth a look.
-
Gyula Castle
Gothic Gyula Castle, overlooking a picturesque moat near the baths, was originally built in the mid-15th century but has been expanded and renovated many times over the centuries, most recently in May 2004. Its 24 rooms now showcase the castle's history, concentrating mainly on its medieval days when the Ottomans were in town, and the weapons used to finally fend them off.
-
Inner City Church
The baroque Inner City Church, from 1777, has some interesting contemporary ceiling frescoes highlighting events in Hungarian and world history - including an astronaut in space!
-
Ladics House
An interesting - and, for Hungary, very unusual - museum is Ladics House, the perfectly preserved and beautifully furnished mid-19th century residence of a prosperous bourgeois family.
-
Mary Museum
For contemporary icons at their kitschy best, no place can compare with the Mary Museum. You've never seen the Virgin in so many guises.
-
Romanian Orthodox Church
The Zopf Romanian Orthodox Church, from 1812, has a beautiful iconostasis (you can try and get the key from the house just south of the church entrance).
-
Százéves
The Százéves cake shop and museum is a visual and culinary delight. Established around 1840 (no doubt Mrs Ladics bought her petits-fours here), the Regency-blue interior is filled with Biedermeier furniture and mirrors in gilt frames. It is one of the most beautiful cukrászdák in Hungary.
