Miskolc City Centre is basically the historical part of the city of Miskolc, Hungary. Most of the other parts of the city were either independent towns and villages previously, or they were built later. Many of the characteristic buildings of Miskolc can be found in the city centre, although the most famous ones, like the castle of Diósgyőr or the Cave Bath of Lillafüred are outside of it. ==Széchenyi street== The most significant street of the city is the István Széchenyi street, which is a continuation of the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky street leading to Tiszai station. Széchenyi street runs through the Downtown and through most of the city from east to west. The part of the street between the Szinvapark shopping mall and City Hall Square was pedestrianized in the early 1980s, except for the Miskolc trams. This part is colloquially called "Main street". Most of the houses on both sides are from the late 19th century, built after the Great Flood, which destroyed most of the downtown. Some regard Hungary Széchenyi street as the longest main street in Europe—but this is inaccurate, since Széchenyi street itself is only about 1 km long, and even in Miskolc several streets are many times longer. It is, however, one of nine streets that, as straight continuations of each other, form the longest (about 12 km) street of the city. These are (East to West): Bajcsy-Zsilinszky street – Széchenyi street – Hunyadi street – Tizeshonvéd street – Győri kapu – Andrássy street – General Ernő Kiss street – Árpád street – Hegyalja street. This long street runs nearly the length of the city, including the city centre and historical Diósgyőr, and is crossed by over 100 minor streets, but in common speech only Széchenyi street is called ''main street''. Significant buildings of the street include: * ''Rákóczi house:'' a Baroque building that was headquarters to Francis II Rákóczi during the revolution in the early 18th century. Today it houses the Gallery of Miskolc. The ''Dark Gate'', one of the old town gates is next to it. * ''National Theatre of Miskolc:'' a neoclassical building constructed in 1857 in place of a previous one that burnt down. The International Opera Festival of Miskolc is organized here annually. The Theatre Museum can be found on Mrs Déry street, which connects Széchenyi street to Heroes Square. * ''Villanyrendőr ("traffic signal", though literally meaning "electric policeman")'' is a name of the crossing where Széchenyi street meets Kazinczy street. It got this name because it was the first place in the city where traffic lights were installed. Since the main street had been pedestrianized, traffic is not as heavy here as it used to be. Near ''Villanyrendőr'' and the Szinva stream, parallel to Széchenyi Street is the newest public square of the city, the Szinva Terrace. The shopping quarter of the city is found in the vicinity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City Centre (Miskolc)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
