# Százhalombatta

Százhalombatta (pronunciation: [ˈsaːzhɒlombɒtːɒ], Croatian: Bata, Serbian: Бата) is a town of 18,000 people (2019) in Pest County. It is 27 km (17 mi) southwest of Budapest, on the west bank of the Danube, in the "corner of Mezőföld".

## Understand

Groups of people had already settled in this area four thousand years ago in the Neolithic Age.
On the plateau stretching over the River Danube in the Old Town, the Bronze Age population built an earthwork, the defence of which was ensured by the river in the northeast, the deep valley in the south and by a rampart in the west. The earthwork was inhabited for almost six hundred years. The layers of the settlements deposited on one another now amount to a depth of up to six meters. This tell settlement is now called Százhalombatta-Földvár. Excavation and management of the site is by the Matrica Museum as part of an international project on Bronze Age Europe.
In the 7th-6th centuries BC it was the eastern branch of the Hallstatt culture that appeared in the region. Significant people from the culture's population are buried in the tumulus graveyard. The six-hectare territory is now an archaeological park.
The name of this town in Hungarian literally means "One hundred tumuli" referring to the tumulus field at the edge of the town.
