Firemen's Tower, Fire lookout tower in Satu Mare, Romania.

The Firemen's Tower is a stone structure reaching about 47 meters high with features typical of early 1900s construction. Its walls and architectural details show the building methods of that era.

The tower was built in 1904 as a fire monitoring station for the city. Architect Dittler Ferenc designed it following a recommendation from the local bishop at that time.

The structure carries names in both Romanian and Hungarian, reflecting the mixed heritage and communities that have shaped this city.

Visitors can enter the tower to explore its interior and learn about traditional firefighting methods. The climb provides views over the city and surrounding areas.

The tower served not only fire safety but also as a symbol of the city's modern infrastructure during a period of rapid development. Its construction showcases craftsmanship that is rarely seen today.
