Coat of arms of Miskolc

Miskolc is the third largest city of Hungary. It is the county seat of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén and the regional centre of Northern Hungary; an important cultural and educational centre.

Today's Miskolc came into existence with the unification of the historical Miskolc (today's city centre), the nearby Diósgyőr and several smaller towns between 1945–1950. United, the busy merchant town Miskolc, and Diósgyőr, which had been a favourite royal residence in the Middle Ages, formed the largest city in the region (with a population peak over 200,000 in the 1980s) and was developed into an important heavy industrial centre. With the industry's decline in the 1990s, Miskolc is now emphasizing its cultural heritage in hope of becoming a tourist attraction.
