Szalonna is a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Hungary.
In the village the church is an example of Romanesque architecture. It consists of two parts. The older is the rotunda on the east side of the recent building, which is younger, but of Árpád age - the village Romanesque church with murals. The rotunda has several relatives of this type in the Carpathian Basin: Herencsény, Bagod-Szentpál, Hidegség. A group of such extended rotunda old churches have a specific characteristic: the six folded inner structure of Karcsa, Gerény and Kiszombor.
In Szalonna there was a small Jewish community and a Jewish cemetery still exists there.[1] [2]
The name probably comes from Slavic Slověna (Slověn: Slav, maybe a personal name, see also Slověnice). Slověna > Solona > Salona. 1249 Zolouna, Zolovna.[3]
