Miskolc: Hungary

Miskolc (IPA: /mi?kolts/, approximate pronunciaton: “Mishkolts”; in Slovak Mikovec, in Polish Miszkolc) is a city in North-East Hungary, mainly with heavy industrial background. With a population close to 180,000 (2001) Miskolc is the third largest city of Hungary (the first two are Budapest and Debrecen.) It is also the county capital of Borsod-Abaj-Zempln.

Districts of Miskolc
Avas
The Avas is a hill (234 m / 780 ft) in the heart of Miskolc. On the hilltop stands the Avas looking tower, the symbol of the city. On the northern part of the hill, close to downtown Erzsbet Square, is the Gothic Protestant Church of Avas, one of the two oldest buildings of Miskolc (the other is the Castle of Disgy?r.) The limestone caves of Avas are used as wine cellars; the narrow, winding streets give a Mediterranean atmosphere to this part of Avas Hill. The southern part of Avas, also called Avas-South, is where the largest housing estate of the city stands, with 10-storey Socialist-style concrete buildings providing homes for about one-third of the city’s population.
