==History==
The area along the [[Danube]] River has been inhabited by varying cultures since ancient times.
Roman merchants moved to Arrabona during the 1st century BCE. Around 10 CE, the Roman army occupied the northern part of Western Hungary, which they called ''[[Pannonia]]''. Although the Roman Empire abandoned the area in the 4th century due to constant attacks by the tribes living to the east, the town remained inhabited.
Line 104 ⟶ 111:
Around 500 the territory was settled by [[Slavs]], in 547 by the [[Lombards]], and in 568–c. 800 by the [[Avars (Carpathians)|Avars]], at that time under [[Franks|Frankish]] and [[Slavic peoples|Slavic]] influence. During this time it was called ''Rabba'' and later ''Raab''. Between 880 and 894, it was part of [[Great Moravia]], and then briefly under [[East Frankish]] dominance.

[[File:Györ Ufer der Raab 3.JPG|thumb|[[Rába]] at Győr]]The [[Magyars]] occupied the town around 900 and fortified the abandoned Roman fortress. [[Stephen I of Hungary|Stephen I]], the first king of Hungary, founded an [[episcopate]] there. The town received its Hungarian name ''Győr'', which likely derives from Old Hungarian personal name Győr, who could be the county's first [[Ispán|count]].
After the disastrous [[battle of Mohács]], Baron [[Tamás Nádasdy]] and Count [[György Cseszneky]] occupied the town for King [[Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand I]] while [[János Szapolyai|John Zápolya]] also was attempting to annex it. During the [[Ottoman wars in Europe|Ottoman occupation]] of present-day central and eastern Hungary<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/511433/Royal-Hungary |title=Royal Hungary (historical region, Hungary) - |encyclopedia=Britannica Online Encyclopedia |access-date=2011-09-16}}</ref> (1541 - late 17th century), Győr's commander Kristóf Lamberg thought it would be futile to try to defend the town from the Turkish army. He burned down the town and the Turkish forces found nothing but blackened ruins, hence the Turkish name for Győr, ''Yanık kale'' ("burnt castle").

Győr's climate is classified as [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfb'') closely bordering on a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfa''). Among them, the annual average temperature is {{
