Szőreg

Szőreg [ˈsøːrɛɡ] (Serbian: Сириг, Sirig; Croatian: Sirik) is a settlement which forms a part of Szeged in Csongrád-Csanád County, in the Banat (Hungarian: Bánát)) region, Hungary.

One of the final battles of the war of independence against the Habsburg Empire (1848–49) took place close to Szőreg.

A rose festival is held here every summer.

Szőreg is also known for being the birthplace of former professional boxer Joe Bugner in 1950.

He emigrated to the UK as a child and boxed under the British and Australian flags.
