Ozora is a village in Tolna County, Hungary. It has been notable since the Middle Ages, when Pipo of Ozora built a castle at this site by permission of Sigismund of Hungary in 1416. Arthur Görgei won an important victory at the Battle of Ozora during the 1848 Revolution in this area. In recent times, it has become famous for the psychedelic Ozora Festival, which has been held annually on an estate in Ozora near small village Dádpuszta since 2004.[4]
