A small Hungarian town in Pest Megye, near the capital city of Budapest, known for its museums, galleries, and artists.
Populated for well over a millenium, under the Romans it was called Ulcisia Castra, meaning Wolf Castle. Since the 1500s it was considered the center of the Hungarian Serb community, see Sentandreja.
In the 1700s, after liberation from the Turk, Szentendre enjoyed a rebirth of mediterranean leanings, as Serbian, Dalmatian, Slovakian, German and Greek moved in and lived alongside the Magyar inhabitants. The town to this day is characterised by a south european atmosphere with much baroque architecture, churches of various faiths, narrow sidestreets, and cobble-stone roads.
