With around 160,000 inhabitants, Szeged is the third largest city in Hungary and is located in the south of the country on the border with Serbia and Romania and at the mouth of the River Mieresch into the River Tisza. The city was founded around 900 AD, but due to a devastating flood in 1879, which affected almost all of the city’s buildings, most of the existing sights only date from the 19th and 20th centuries, including the imposing Art Nouveau town hall, the magnificent cathedral and the impressive synagogue. Of course, there are also interesting works of urban art here. These great photos of urban art were taken by the world explorers Thomas Adventurer and Diana Beekvelt, also known as NOMADS ON WHEELS. We don’t have much from Szeged in our archive yet, so if you have any photos from here, you can send them to info@vagabundler.com and we’ll add them to this page.
Tribute to Nobel laureates Albert Szent-Györgyi & Katalin Karikó
In December 2023, eight local artists created this magnificent mural in honor of two Nobel laureates. Albert Szent-Györgyi had already received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937 for his discoveries related to biological combustion processes, in particular vitamin C and the catalysis of fumaric acid. In 2023, another scientist from Szeged received a Nobel Prize, the Hungarian biochemist Katalin Karikó. In her honor, a large mural with two graphic portraits of the two was created on the wall of a seventeen-story skyscraper in the city. The work took about four weeks.
