Fire watchtower in Veszprém, Medieval watchtower in Veszprém, Hungary
The Fire Watchtower stands 48 meters tall at the southwestern end of Veszprém Castle, featuring a cylindrical structure made of broken stone.
The tower survived an earthquake in 1810 and underwent renovation between 1811 and 1814, receiving a late Baroque extension designed by architect Henrik Tumler.
The tower plays compositions by local composer Antal Csermák every hour, adding a musical element to its architectural presence in the city.
Visitors can climb the spiral staircase to reach the circular balcony, which provides views across Veszprém and the surrounding landscape.
The structure beneath the tower served as the Fire Engine Hall, storing a horse-drawn fire engine and housing the city's fire brigade headquarters from 1824.
