Goat Church and Chapter House Originally a Franciscan monastery stood on this spot and it’s church, in the 18th century,eventually passed to the Benedictines. This is a fine example of Hungarian Gothic architecture, apparently one of the finest in all of Hungary. It’s called the ‘Goat Church’ because of some fanciful legend concerning a goatherd and a pot of gold . It’s a huge church its exterior is really impressive. Roman Sopron This area of western Hungary was a Roman province and during the reign of Tiberius 14-37, they founded a city called Scrabantia. Sopron eventually grew from the remains of Scrabantia and around the central area of the old town you can see a lot of evidence of this. The area near the present main square of Sopron was where the forum of Scrabantia stood. Around here is one of the most delightful aspects of the old town. From these forum remains and all around the back of the fire tower are little walks, nooks and crannies with remnants of the city walls, trees now sprouting out of their crumbling remains.
