The domed neo-Gothic structre was inspired by the British House of Parliament and serves as both a vibrant government center and a proud city landmark on the banks of the Danube.

This famous building is located in the centre of the town. It has a special architecture with an interesting roof with Zsolnay- ceramics. Outside and inside of the building you can see statues and portrait of Hungarian historic people: leaders and kings. You can hear the chime every hour. We were lucky to go into the main hall where wedding ceremonies are held. We have seen the fantastic paintings on the walls.

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.
