Kiskunhalas
Kiskunhalas (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkiʃkunhɒlɒʃ]; German: Hallasch) is a city in the county of Bács-Kiskun, Hungary.[1] Kiskunhalas used to be surrounded by lakes that were rich in fish, Halas in Hungarian, and this gave rise to the town's name.These are displayed in the János Thorma Museum, established in honor of an early 20th-century painter who was born and grew up here.After 1596, the town lost much of its population due to warfare during the Ottoman invasion and plague.Until 1754 the city was the center of the region, but after that, its significance declined under Catholic rulers because of the local people's support for Protestantism.
