Firemen's Tower

The Firemen's Tower rises 47 meters above the ground with stone walls and architectural elements reflecting the early 1900s construction methods.

Built in 1904 under bishop Gyula Meszlényi's recommendation, architect Dittler Ferenc designed this tower to serve as a monitoring point for the city's fire safety.

The tower represents the architectural heritage of Satu Mare through its Romanian name 'Turnul Pompierilor' and Hungarian name 'Tűzoltótorony', reflecting the region's multicultural identity.

Located at 129 meters elevation, the tower remains open to visitors who can explore its interior structure and learn about traditional firefighting methods.

Each day approximately 100 people visit this monument, which combines the functions of a fire safety watchtower with historical preservation.
