Szenttamás (Esztergom)

Szenttamás (meaning: "Saint Thomas" (for Saint Thomas Becket) is the eastern part of the city of Esztergom in Hungary, on the right bank of the river Danube. It was a separate village until 1895, when it was merged with the "Royal Esztergom" as 2nd district, along with neighboring Víziváros and Szentgyörgymező. It's located on the Szent Tamás Hill.

gollark: Most countries have insanely convoluted tax law so I assume it's possible.
gollark: Hmm, so you need to obtain a hypercomputer of some sort to write your tax forms such that they cannot plausibly be checked?
gollark: What if it's somehow really easy to find *a* solution to something, but not specific ones, and hard to check the validity of a specific maybe-solution? Is that possible?
gollark: Er, maybe?
gollark: I'm also vaguely aware of that, I was wondering if there existed problems where it was easy to find a solution of some kind but hard to check if the solution is right.
