It is the capital of Veszprém County in central-western Hungary. It is located about 100 km southwest of the capital Budapest. It has a population of 62,851 (2001). It has been considered a strategically important location since ancient times, and a castle was built during the reign of Stephen I (baptized as Stephen I) and it developed into a castle town. However, it was destroyed during the invasion of the Ottoman Empire, and most of the historical buildings that can be seen today have since been restored. After World War II, efforts were made to develop the chemical industry, and a modern dyeing material manufacturing factory was built. It is home to a university of chemical technology, a petrochemical research institute, and an industrial chemistry research institute.
