1. Jászszentandrás

The Roman Catholic Church was built in 1903 in neo-gothic style. The frescoes were painted in 1933 by Vilmos Aba-Novák and Ferenc Chiovini. The models of the frescoes were the residents of the settlement.

2. Jászapáti
|
With its two towers, this church is dedicated to the Birth of the Virgin Mary and has retained the walls of the original church: those side walls around the towers were incorporated into the more recent church walls. The sturdy stonewall around the church was constructed between 1759 and 1771. At the front and the back there are beautifully decorated Rococo wrought-iron gates.

3. Jászkisér
|
Unlike in other Jazygian settlements, in Jászkisér a Reformed church was built first. This church was built in 1650, but the steeple was added only in 1771 with the permission of Mary Theresa. A red marble board on the wall of the church commemorates this event. The Catholic Church from 1773 was rebuilt in 1906 in neo-roman style. The new church is a modern building with one steeple and a shape of a big cross. The building was built by Hungarian masters as well as its beautiful organ by the Angster Organ Building Company.

4. Jánoshida
|
The settlement was found on the banks of the Zagyva river before the Conquest of Hungary. The Premontrians settled down here around 1186 under the reign of Béla III. After the restoration in 1970, it turned out that the medieval monastery church was hidden under the plaster of the baroque church. Originally the church of Jánoshida was one of the most beautiful monastery church of the Great Plain in the early-medieval times.

5. Jászberény
|
The Church of Jesus’s (Fransiscan Church or Friars Church) was built by Franciscans in 1472. Two of the most famous patriotic festivals are the Farewell of „Porciunkula” (first Sunday of August) and the Farewell of Holy Rosary of Virgin Mary (first Sunday of October), which was first held in 1948 and became the most important religious event not only in the Jászság, but also in the Tápió area.
The Roman Catholic Church is unique in Hungary. This church is the only one in the country which has the Holy Crown on its steeple. The Classicist Rosalie Chapel with two baroque statues (John of Nepomuk and the Grieving Christ) on its two sides can be found near the church. On the main square there are the I. World War Memorial (Hussar statue), a Statue of the Holy Trinity, the Rákóczi and the „Pálinkás” crucifixes.

6. Pusztamonostor
|
The settlement was a place for a monastery in the Árpád-Era. The village may have been existed at the time of Stephen I. The double cross on the steeple of the church is the evidence for this. It is not proved but said that the monastery was founded by Aba Sámuel.
