Sopron was an old deserted Roman city when the Hungarians got here. The city walls were strengthened and a palace was built. At the end of the Middle Ages, a fire destroyed most of the city. The city was rebuilt in the prevailing Baroque style and most of its medieval architecture was lost. At the time of the divide of Hungary and Austria, the citizens of Sopron voted for Hungary, earning it the title of ‘the most loyal city’.
