Prekmurje is the north-eastern corner of Slovenia between the Mura river and the Hungarian border; an autochthonous Hungarian community still lives around Lendava (Lendva).<\/p>\n

Its medieval churches decorated with frescoes \u2013 such as the pilgrimage church of Turni\u0161\u010de (B\u00e1ntornya) or the rotunda of Selo (Nagyt\u00f3tlak) \u2013 are closely related to the churches of the neighbouring \u0150rs\u00e9g and G\u00f6csej regions and reflect their shared medieval heritage.<\/p>\n
