Description

Nagykanizsa (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈnɒckɒniʒɒ], or just Kanizsa; Croatian: Velika Kaniža/Velika Kanjiža, or just Kaniža/Kanjiža; German: Großkirchen, Groß-Kanizsa; Italian: Canissa; Slovene: Velika Kaniža; Turkish: Kanije) is a medium-sized city in Zala County in southwestern Hungary.
It lies not far from Lake Balaton at the meeting point of five routes. For centuries the town has been a connecting link.
