Judgement Tower, Medieval fortified tower in Maribor, Slovenia.

The Judgement Tower features a circular floor plan with a triple-layered conical roof made of brick shingles and smooth surfaces interrupted by wooden-framed windows.

Built in 1310 and destroyed in 1532, the tower underwent reconstruction from 1548 to 1562 by Italian engineers who also constructed Maribor's City Hall.

The tower earned its name from its function as a place where sentences were pronounced, including verdicts during historical witch trials in the region.

The structure stands in the Lent district of Maribor's market area, with visitor information available at the tourism center on Pristan 8.

Following a complete renovation in 2021, the medieval defense tower now serves as a venue for cultural events while maintaining its historical architecture.
