In the Roman era, the present town site was a crossing place. In the fourth century, it served as the center of the Hun empire. Like much of Hungary, it has been occupied by a variety of invading conquerors over the centuries. It has also played im­portant roles in Hungarian his­tory, serving as a focal point of the 1848 uprising and as a center of anti-Facist resistance during World War II.

It is unfortunate that a town so rich in history has such a lack of historical monuments. In 1879 a flood literally razed the old town leaving precious little behind. Yet it was this tragedy which ultimately gave Szeged its new character. After the flood, var­ious European countries came to the aid of the townsfolk. Today, the town boulevards still bear the names of the foreign capitals from which this aid came: Moscow, London, Vienna, Paris, Brussels and Rome.
