Stop point- Nagykanizsa - hospital chapel

The chapel was built in 1932 with the donations of the faithful, with the support of the city and the Ministry of Public Welfare. It was designed by Barnabás Vécsey, a city engineer. The Reformed Church and the Piarist Chapel in Nagykanizsa were also built on the basis of his plans. The altarpiece, depicting Saint Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar, originally decorated the chapel of the city's Ispita (hospital and poorhouse), built in 1769-71. After the demolition of the old hospital, the image was moved to the small chapel in the new hospital in 1884 and from there to its present location
