Diósgyőr is another city district which mainly contributed to the formation of the Greater Miskolc due to the industrial unification in the fifties. Nowadays it is mostly a living district and a tourist point of attraction including sites such as the Lutheran and the Protestant Church, and the Medieval Castle of Diósgyőr, built in the 13th century.
The castle is now hosting several big music and theatre festivals which take place every year during the warm season. Inside the tower, a couple of modern blacksmiths are imprinting authentic medieval coins in exchange for nowadays valuable coins. From the top of it, you can see the whole diagram of the district development during the years - both churches look dwarfish underneath the huge raw of soviet blocks of flats... In the outer yard of the castle, a group of youngsters are performing some kickboxer training out on the fresh snow-drift. A warm sober feeling arises inside-out...
