Kalocsa, which is located in the southwest of Bács-Kiskun county in the adjacency of River Danube and has got a population of 18 thousand residents, is as old as the Hungarian statehood. This is where King Saint Stephen founded the second archbishopric of Hungary in 1002. Its first archbishop was Astrik who brought the crown to Saint Stephen from Pope Sylvester II. Kalocsa was provided with the privileges of market-towns in 1405 by King Sigismund. During the Turkish occupation between 1541 and 1686 the town was almost completely devastated. The first returned archbishop, Imre Csáky established the economic conditions forming foundation of development. Archbishop Csáky and his successors established a printing house, a chemist's as well as several schools in the 18th century. Some really significant ecclesiastic constructions were going on. It was the era when the majority of the current public buildings were constructed. While intellectual life was developing in a remarkable degree - an observatory and further schools were founded with staffs comprised of scientists and professors having national and European reputation - the stage of development regarding economy was rather low compared to the era. The first part of the 20th century was the period of stagnating as well. Following World War II Kalocsa shared the lot of the other Hungarian ecclesiastic centres, it was ignored in a significant degree. In the 1960s besides the already existing food processing factories some further light industrial companies were established the majority of which weathered the economic recession of the beginning of the 1990s. Despite the unfavorable economic changes, which occurred after the political transformation, some remarkable improvements took place in terms of infrastructure. Gas, sewer system were installed and a modern telephone exchange was created. Kalocsa became famous for three things during the past millennium. First as an archbishopric, then for the spice paprika having been grown since the beginning of the 18th century and for its folk art becoming well-known all over the world in the 20th century !
