The medieval center of Tapolca is located on the Church-Hill. The church was built in the 13th. century in Roman style onto the place of an older chapel and was surrounded by the wall of the castle. It was rebuilt in Baroque style after the Turkish invasion in 1756. The slightly elevated wall of the medieval castle stands in front of the Roman Catholic Church. The artwork: „Our Past” (by László Marton) stands on the basic wall built by the ancient Romans. The gate and the „wolf-ditch” of the castle from the 17th century was excavated at the northern end of the present school building. The monument of King Saint István the „State-establisher” stands next to the Garden.
