Csongrád is a town in Csongrád County in the southern part of the Great Plain in Hungary where the rivers Körös and Tisza meet. It is provided by archaeological finds that this area has been inhabited since ancient times.
The earth fortress was known as Chorniy Grad - Black Fortress. First was mentioned by Anonymous in Gesta Hungarorum (12-13th century). It is said that the conquering Hungarians occupied here an earth fort of the Danube Bulgarian Empire, however there is no evidence of the presence of the Bulgarians. Although the name Csongrád - Chorniy Grad has a Slavic-Bulgarian origin.
The fortress may have been destroyed by the Mongol invasion and disappeared for centuries. However its name still exists and there were several research for the ruins. With the latest technology of LIDAR the fortress was located and the excavation in July 2024 found its traces.
