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.
Like any self-respecting castle, there's a thick wall to wander along, a tower to climb and a dungeon to explore, but the latter is only open during breaks in Castle Theatre performances.
