Article History

Gyula, city, Békés megye (county), extreme southeast Hungary, situated on the Fehér Körös (White Körös) River near the Romanian frontier. An old settlement, Gyula attained municipal status in the 15th century. It was occupied by the Turks in 1566–1694. The castle located in the city dates from the 15th century. An agricultural marketing centre for the rich eastern Great Alföld plain (grains, tobacco, and dairy farming), Gyula has food-processing industries and specializes in sausages. Summer theatre programs are performed at the medieval fortress. The local hot-spring spa also attracts tourists. Pop. (2011) 31,067; (2017 est.) 30,004.
