Hungarian Venezuelans

The Hungarian-Venezuelan community is primarily composed of immigrants who left Hungary after World War II and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

Such is the case of the noble Hungarian expeditionary Pál Rosti, who traveled to the country in 1857 and photographed the region of San Juan de los Morros.

In 1953 at the initiative of Mrs. Egyed Erzsébet, the first Fehérbál was performed, which were presented to the young Hungarian society, becoming a tradition that still exists to this day.

Subsequently, Farkas was not only Catholic member of the council, but served as a mediator and peacemaker figure in the colony for decades.

Having grown more the diaspora, the Hungarians decided to acquire a larger land and build a cultural house, which could serve as headquarters for immigrants.
