Tamási is a town in Tolna County, Hungary.

Tamási, named after St. Thomas, with a population of approximately 9200 is located just 30 kilometers East of Lake Balaton. The town was founded during Roman times and the Catholic church in the town center is built on the ruins of the Roman founded temple. During the 1525-1665 period the area was occupied by the invading Turks. This mainly agricultural town has the ruins of a castle torn mostly down after the 1848-1849 revolution by the conquering Austrians. There is a look-out tower on the top of the "Varhegy"- castle hill next to the thermal bath and the town, the vineyards and their wine cellars can be see well from this point. The Soviet Army controlled the town from 1945-**** until the Soviet Empire fell. Since that time the country and the area have been governed by a Western style parliamentary democracy. Hungary is a member of both NATO and the European Union.
