The Flood Memorial (Árvízi Emlékmű) in Szeged stands as a powerful tribute to the city's resilience following the catastrophic 1879 flood that devastated the area. Unveiled in 1979, exactly a century later, the monument was crafted by sculptor György Segesdy. Its dynamic chrome steel design symbolizes the clash of natural forces and human perseverance. Surrounding the memorial are black granite pillars bearing the coats of arms of cities like Rome, Paris, and Vienna, acknowledging their support in Szeged's reconstruction . Located at the intersection of Tisza Lajos Boulevard and Huszár Mátyás Embankment, the site offers a serene space for reflection and appreciation of the city's history. Interesting design. Egy szép emlékmű és emlék hely.A 1879-as Árviz egy fontos pont a Szegedi tőrténetebe volt. After the 1879 flood,the whole city was rebuilt,upon the orders of Emperor Franc Josef(Ferenc József),who also said the following words which entered in history:"Szeged szebb lesz,mint volt"(Szeged will be nicer than it was). The 1879 flood was a tragic one,but the city experienced a rebirth after the events,under the supervision of Architect Tisza Lajos,and the Emperor.Szeged really became a beautiful city. In thanks to the european cities which donated money to Szeged,the city's ring boulevards were named after them(Berlin,Paris,Rome,London,Vienna) Interesting form.
