Reckturm (Judgement Tower), Maribor

Highlight • Historical Site

The two-story, circular defense tower with the two-tiered brick conical roof is a defensive structure whose monumental mass protected the southwest corner of the city walls. Its angular predecessor was built in 1310, but was demolished in 1532. The Reckturm was then built between 1548 and 1562. It got its popular name as the "court tower" during the time of the witch trials: women accused of witchcraft were found guilty and sentenced here. In 1937 the tower burned down and the roof and wooden floors collapsed. Rebuilt between 1957 and 1960, the tower was completely rebuilt in 2021. Since then it has been used as a cultural center for events.

Plague Column (Maribor)

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the main square stands the Marian sign (plague sign), which was erected in 1743 on the site of the older plague sign from 1681. It was made by Jožef Straub on behalf of the citizens of Maribor as a thank you for the end of the plague in the city.

Maribor Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The town hall or Rotovž was built in 1515. It received its current Renaissance form between 1563 and 1565. The town, which dates back to a Markburg or Marchburg first mentioned in 1164 (Mark or March are old German terms for "border"), today has almost 100,000 inhabitants and is the second largest city in Slovenia.

Built in 1913, the bridge is 270 meters long. When it was opened, it was one of the most magnificent structures of its kind in Austria-Hungary. In April 1941, Adolf Hitler and his entourage crossed the Old Bridge after the conquest of the city.
