Magyarcsanád


Magyarcsanád a multi-ethnic village located in Csongrád, southeast Hungary near the Mureş River. The Maros is a border-river here between southern Hungary and northern Romania.
The population is mainly Hungarian, but many Romanians, Serbians and Romani people are also living here. Magyarcsanád has four churches: a Romanian Orthodox, a Serbian Orthodox, a Calvinist and a Roman Catholic.
The village has an own outskirt called Bökény directly near the Maros. Here is a tumulus in which archeological artifacts were found.
Magyarcsanád has a partner-settlement Comloşu Mare in Timiș County.
An old stone cross was erected near Magyarcsanád in the Middle Ages. The cross still stands.
There is a small isle called in Hungarian "Senki szigete" some kilometers eastward from Magyarcsanád on the border river Mureş. The isle is inhabited by Phalacrocoracidae.
