Dömötör Tower, Szeged
Facts and practical information
The Dömötör tower is the oldest building in Szeged, Hungary. The foundation was most probably laid during the 11th century, while the lower part was built from the 12th century, and the upper part from the 13th century. The tower was once part of the former Szent Dömötör templom, but today it stands in Dóm Square, in front of the much larger Votive Church of Szeged. The upper part was rebuilt from the original stones in 1926. The architecture of the tower is similar to another found in Southern France, or in the territory of the former Byzantine Empire. ()
