The experience
Roman foundations. Saint Martin's birthplace. An Egyptian goddess underground.
Szombathely is Hungary’s oldest continuously inhabited city — founded by the Romans as Savaria in 45 AD, capital of the province of Pannonia Prima. Saint Martin of Tours, one of the most important figures in early Christianity, was born here. An Egyptian temple to the goddess Isis was built here and is still visible beneath the modern city.
The walk begins at Fő tér and moves through the inner city — past the cathedral, the Martíneum, the eccentric Smidt collection — ending at the Iszeum Romkert, where the ruins of the Temple of Isis sit open to the sky in the middle of a modern European city.
No city on any Along walk is older than this. The questions know it.

How it works
You receive a point cloud — 25 GPS stops across the inner city. Walk to any of them in any order. The question unlocks when you arrive. Two thousand years of history in a compact, walkable city centre.
Founded 45 AD
Savaria was founded by the Emperor Claudius. The city has been continuously inhabited since. The modern street grid still roughly follows the Roman one. You're walking a two-thousand-year-old plan.
What you'll find
25 stops.
Your order.
These are some of what’s waiting across the island. The GPS cloud shows you where they are — the rest is up to you.
Fő tér
The walk begins at Szombathely’s main square — open, well-proportioned, with the cathedral on one side and the city hall on another. The square sits directly above Roman Savaria, the ancient capital of Pannonia Prima. Two thousand years beneath the paving stones.
Székesegyház
The neoclassical cathedral built in the late 18th century — one of the most elegant in western Hungary. The frescoes inside were largely destroyed in WWII and painstakingly restored. A question about what you restore when something is damaged, and what you leave as it is.
Martíneum
The diocesan cultural centre and museum complex — named after Saint Martin of Tours, who was born in Savaria, on the site of the present-day city. One of the most important early Christian figures in European history, from this very ground. A question about origin: what came from here that reached the whole world.
Smidt Múzeum
The extraordinary private collection of Dr. Lajos Smidt — a local physician who spent decades gathering objects from flea markets and antique shops across Europe. The result is one of the most eccentric and personal museums in Hungary. A question about what you collect, and what it says about you.
Iszeum Romkert (Temple of Isis)
The walk ends at the ruins of a Roman temple to the Egyptian goddess Isis — discovered beneath the city in the 20th century and now an open-air archaeological park. An Egyptian goddess, worshipped in a Roman city, in what is now western Hungary. A question about how far things travel, and where they find a home.

An Egyptian goddess at the end.
Szombathely is Hungary’s oldest city and one of its most quietly remarkable. The Roman grid is still there beneath the streets. Saint Martin of Tours was born here. An Isis temple was discovered under the city centre in the 20th century. The Along walk moves through all of it — and ends at the ruins, open to the sky.
