With each passing century, the tower has witnessed the unfolding of history, as its lower part was constructed in the 12th century, followed by the addition of the upper part in the 13th century, showcasing the transition to Gothic architecture.

Once an integral part of the St. Demetrius church, the tower now stands tall in Dóm Square, proudly facing the grandeur of the Votive Church of Szeged.

Its presence is a testament to the enduring spirit of the city and a reminder of the power of preservation. To stand before this iconic tower is to stand in awe of the past, embracing the historical legacy it represents.
