Tolna (German: Tolnau; Latin: Alta Ripa) is a town in Tolna County, Hungary. It lies about 10 kilometres (6 miles) north of Szekszárd and 135 kilometres (84 miles) south of Budapest.

History

The area around Tolna was already settled in Roman times, when the Romans likely built a border fort here called Alta Ripa, which was later eroded by the Danube in the post-Roman era. During the reign of the Árpád dynasty in Hungary, the settlement was called Thelena and was later renamed Tolna.
