Miskolctapolca

Miskolctapolca or Miskolc-Tapolca (formerly Görömböly-Tapolca, planned to be Tapolcafürdő after gaining independence from Miskolc, in colloquial speech known as Tapolca) is a suburb of Miskolc, and is one of the most popular tourist towns of Hungary.

Documents dating back to 1219 mention a Benedictine monastery in Tapolca; it stood until the 16th century, but during the Ottoman occupation of Hungary the monastery was attacked several times and the monks left.

In the end of the 19th century the city of Miskolc bought Tapolca from the Church.

In 1934 Tapolca officially became a resort town, and began to prosper, restaurants, hotels were opened.
