Szolnok - Tában
|
|
In the district of Tában (Tában utca 7, 8, 19, 51 and 63) there are interesting old farmhouses on the west bank of the Zagyva with wooden gables.
On the site beyond the bridge over the Zagyva stood the castle, but there is nothing left to be seen today (monotonous modern residential area). The castle church on the Tisza was built in 1824 using material from a demolished Turkish mosque.

Kossuth tér

On the left hand side behind Gutenberg tér are the houses of Sándor Bikari and Adolf Fényes which formed the artists' colony in 1902. Many significant Hungarian sculptors and painters have worked here since then (e.g. Ferenc Chiovini).
Crossing the Tisza bridge - the first steel bridge was built in 1911, the present one dates from 1945 - leads to a wood surrounded by a dam on the left bank with a sports hall, bathing beach, thermal baths and campsite.
From the Tisza bridge along the right bank an attractive park stretches downstream ending at a complex which comprises the Hotel Tisza and thermal baths. The waters are 56°C (133°F) and are used in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and gynecological disorders.
Opposite the hotel is the Szigligeti Theatre opened in 1912.
