You can find the cache near the Róma-hill Chapel and you can see the view of a part of the town.
The old Kaposvár was built on the North side of the Kapos-valley. There were villages in the hilly country on the South side, but those were annihilated in the course of the Turkish (osmanly) wars and occupation between 1555-1686. The abandoned hills got wooded. In the Y1700s Kaposvár inhabitants took possession of this land and planted grapevines, grew vineyards. They built little chapels and there were 5 vineyard chapels in the hilly part of Kaposvár (Ivánfa-hill, Lonka-hill, Kapos-hill, Róma-hill and Kecel-hill chapels).
You can find amongst vineyards only two chapels of these now, because new streets were built on the hills and you can find the other three chapels in populated area now. The Róma-hill Chapel is one of these. The original chapel was built in the Y1700s but it was very small and the citizens built a new one instead of the old in 1906. The original bell from 1763 of the old chapel lives in the tower of the new one.
