Postcard from Hungary!

Today I got a nice postcard from Hungary! The postcard shows a painted scene in the city of Sopron. Sopron is located near the Austrian border and occupies about 169 square kilometres. The area has been inhabited since the Roman Empire, during which it was called Scarbantia. Today, the city has a population of 61,000 people and is noted for its well-preserved medieval structures. Interestingly, some say it is the dental capital of the world, with over 300 dental clinics. Thanks Anie!
