Grof Palace

Reviewed By MarriedAnd-Over-50 - Mission, Canada

Well there is so much to learn in Europe. I learned that this beautiful building was the first secession style protected mansion in Szeged. It was built between 1912 and 1913 and it was named after the attorney general of Szeged at that time, Árpád Márton Gróf and in some articles he is called Szeged's chief prosecutor, it is said he initiated its construction, which lasted only 13 months. The Architect was Ferec Raichil J. who passed away in 1960. Originally it was meant to be for wealthy town officers. Downstairs there were lawyers' offices and upstairs apartments. It still functions today as apartments. The Architect had a fantastic mansion in Subotica -former Yugoslavia town and today is in Serbia- and he made this even a more beautiful building. We went really close but we could not get in, but we tried :-)

City Hall

The present City Hall is the 3rd building in the same place with the same function. The 1st building of a modest design was erected in 1728.It was followed by the second one with the same area as the present hall,designed by István Vedres at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.After the flood devastating almost the entire city(1879),the square was filled up,so the building became too low and awkward.Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos designed another floor and a slender central tower on the original foundation. The neo-baroque City Hall was inaugurated by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1883,the middle window of the staircase is decorated with his renowned saying:"Szeged will be more beautiful than it used to be".The phoenix in the middle of the pediment symbolizes the revival os Szeged.The Bridge of Sighs,originally built for the Emperor and his escort visiting the reconstructed city.In the court with a unique atmosphere theatrical and musical performances await the audience each summer.
