History.

The Horyany Rotunda was accidentally discovered in the half-forgotten church of St. Anne, where renovation work was underway. One of the craftsmen noticed that colored frescoes were peeking out from under the plaster. As soon as the discovery became known, experts from Budapest arrived. They determined that the murals were made in the 14th and 15th centuries. The rotunda itself was dated to the 11th-12th centuries.
