Important information: who are we not?
If you are searching for results about SATA – whether it is the bus interface or any other product or service with this name – please note that we are not what you’re looking for. First, let’s clarify the abbreviation: SATA, which stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices (among other things that share this name). None of these, however, apply to us. We are not a technical device, product, or service, but a human community, a village in Hungary, in Central Europe. Our name is Sáta (Hungarian pronunciation: [ʃaːta], with the stress on the long ‘á’).
The name Sáta is believed to originate from a historical figure from the distant past, long before the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment was invented. Therefore, please note that this website is about a Hungarian village, and not a technical product, hardware, or anything similar.
Who are we in real?

Historical Landmarks of Sáta
Sáta boasts several historical landmarks, including:
Roman Catholic Church (from 1829)
Parish House (from the same period, 1796)
Fáy Castle (from 1735)

Local joke as urban legend
Due to the Hungarian locative suffix -n, the word „Sátán” can mean both Satan (the Devil) and in Sáta (at Sáta). This linguistic quirk has made the village the subject of several jokes. The most famous is an urban legend (or meme) in which residents of a neighboring village found a note on the church door, written in the priest’s hand. The note read: „Today’s mass is cancelled, I’m Satan.” The intended meaning, of course, was „I’m in Sáta.” (I am in Sáta).
