Márkó Municipal Government

According to archaeological findings and medieval documents, the site of present-day Márkó was once home to several settlements, including the village of Szentmárk. Life could only begin anew in the 18th century on the sites of the villages that had been destroyed and depopulated during the Turkish era, when Bishop Márton Padányi and the Veszprém Chapter invited German settlers to this region, who founded and built Márkó. For a long time, it was a typical single-street settlement, and some of the houses still preserve the forms and traditions of folk architecture. On a hill rising above the surrounding area, the white chapel and stations of the Calvary are visible from afar.
