The area along the Danube River has been lived by multiple coultures, since ancient times. The first large settlement dates back to the 5th century BC.
They called the town Ara Bona which means Good altar". Later they contracted to Arrabona, a name which was used untill the 8th century. Roman merchants moved to Arrabona during the first century BC., than the Roman army occupied the northern part of Western Hungary, which they called Pannónia. Győr, or the old name of its Arrabona was settled also by Slavs, Lombards, Avars and at that time under Frankish and Slavik influence. The Hungarians came to the town around 900 and fortified the abadoned Roman fortress Kristóf Lamberg, Győr's commander tought it would be fertile to try to defend the town from the Turkish army. He burned down the town, so the Turkish forces found nothing, but burned down buildings. During the rebuilding, the town was sorrounded with a castle and a city wall, designed by the leading Italian builders of the era. During the follow centuries the town became prosperous. In 1743 Győr was elevated to Free Royal Town status by Mária Terézia. The religious orders of Jesuits, and Carmelites settled there, building schools, churches, a hospital and a monastery. In the 1950s several big blocks of flats were built, but the old historical buildings were not given care or attention sadly. In the years of 70s the reconstruction of the city cetre began. Old buildings were restored and reconstructed. In 1989 Győr won the European Award of Monuments Protection.
