Cave Houses

The vineyard area of the municipality of Győrság was almost always inhabited. Even today many cellars once used as residential homes can be found on the side of Kiáltó Hill at the end of Öreg Street. Whitewashed walls and chimneys indicate that they were used as dwellings for longer periods of time.
