Szeged is a city in Hungary. It is the country’s third largest city, and it is located on the river Tisza in the borderland between Hungary, Serbia and Romania. The name Szeged is known from 1183, and in the following centuries it became the region’s most important city. Walls were built as a defense against the Muslim Ottomans who occupied Szeged 1543-1688. The city grew in the 18th century with many new buildings, and during the Hungarian Revolution in 1848 the city played an important role.
At the center of Szeged’s is the square Széchenyi tér, which functions as a park with large green areas. On the western side of the square, you can see the city’s large town hall, which was built in Art Nouveau style in the years 1882-1883. The elegant street Kárász utca starts from the southern end of the square, and you should take a walk along it, where you will cross the Klauzál tér square, which entered Hungarian history in 1849, when Lajos Kossuth gave his last speech in Hungary right here before he went into exile.
The most famous of Szeged’s many squares is Dóm tér, which was laid out in the years 1929-1932 with the city’s cathedral as the central building and homogeneous university wings all around as a frame for the beautiful urban space. The cathedral with its 91-meter-high twin towers is one of Hungary’s largest churches, and it has a large and very beautifully decorated interior. In front of the church, you can see the Dömötör tower from the 11th-13th centuries, which was formerly part of St. Demetrius Church, which was located on this site.
Close to Szeged’s cathedral is the city’s Serbian Orthodox church, known for its pear wood iconostasis from the 18th century Rococo period. There is also a large synagogue from 1903 close to the center of Szeged. The synagogue is one of the world’s largest and very beautifully built.
