Dömötör Tower, Medieval Catholic tower in Szeged, Hungary
The Dömötör Tower rises 34 meters with a Romanesque lower section and a Gothic upper section featuring 48 pointed windows across three levels.
Built on foundations from the 11th century, the tower remains the last section of the medieval St. Demeter Church, which disappeared during the 1879 flood.
The tower contains a fresco by Vilmos Aba-Novák depicting the baptism of Hungarians, while its Gate of Life displays 20 Christian symbols from Alpha to Omega.
Located in Dóm Square next to the Votive Church, the tower functions as a baptismal chapel with regular guided tours explaining its architectural evolution.
The structure incorporates design elements similar to towers in Southern France and Byzantine territories, representing a fusion of European architectural traditions.
