Szentendre
is known as the town of living art due to its artist colony of international
renown, and its museums and galleries. With its well preserved, distinctive
18th-century townscape, the town centre is a group of heritage buildings unique
in Hungary.
In the beginning of the 2nd century the Romans built a defence
system in and around Szentendre. Their reinforced military camp was called
Ulcisa Castra, the first known name of the town. Later the town was called after
the patron saint of the parish church, the apostle St Andrew (Szent
Endre).
Recent decades have seen major changes in the life of Szentendre as a
result of the rapidly growing tourism industry, thanks to the historical
atmosphere of the town's streets, its art life, as well as the Hungarian Open-Air Museum
which
visualises rural life in Hungary.
