The architect Ede Magyar was thirty in 1907, when he constructed Reök Palace, an exemplary piece of Hungarian secession.

The Franciscan church dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows and the cloister nearby are precious architectural heritages of Szeged.

The secessionist style, four-storey historic building stands on the southern side of Saint Steven Square.

The architect’s palace in Szeged is larger and more imposingly executed, yet it is more modest in comparison with its counterpart in Subotica, failing to reach its outstanding unity of style and the elaboration of its details.

It is a determinant building on Tisza Lajos Boulevard being the biggest protected monument built in secession style in Szeged.

The dwelling house of two upper vocational school teachers on Lechner Square exemplifies excellently that the novel spirit of the Art Nouveau inspiringly influenced the attitude of the contemporary middle class.

After the Great Flood (1879) destroying the city, the people of Szeged made an oath to build a majestic catholic church.

The tunes of this unique piece of art by watchmaker Ferenc Csúri could be first heard at the Open Air Festival in 1936.

Károly Somogyi, prebendary of Esztergom, aimed to make a contribution to the 'mental' reconstruction of the city in ruins after the flood by giving Szeged his priceless collection of books in 1881.

The present City Hall is the third building in the same place with the same function. The first building of a modest design was raised in 1728. It was followed by the second one with the same area as the present hall, designed by István Vedres at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Iron House was given its name after its spectacular shape. Looking from a distance at its facade sectioned by the strikingly marvellous, masterly executed corner pinnacle, ledges and bay windows, we may suppose that it is a historic monument.
