Cegléd
Cegléd combines a monumental Reformed center, nineteenth-century urbanization, railway growth and one of Hungary’s strongest local Kossuth traditions. The route uses churches, town hall, museums, monuments, civic buildings and war-memory sites to show how a market town built a national political identity around local institutions.
