History
The first settlement on the territory of Budapest was a Roman military camp called Aquincum, founded in the late 1st century. Aquincum became an important commercial and military center of the Roman province of Pannonia. The first Christian church in Hungary, the Pannonhalma Archabbey, was built there in 972 by King Géza I. In the Middle Ages, Budapest was the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary. It was the largest and most important city of the country, and the political and cultural center of the Magyars, the Hungarian nation. The city was the site of several important royal events, including the coronation of King Matthias in 1458. Budapest was occupied by the Ottoman Empire from 1541 to 1686.
