Szeged
Szeged , city (1991 est. pop. 176,100), S Hungary, at the confluence of the Tisza and Maros rivers. It is a river port, a railroad hub, and an agricultural center. Famous for its paprika and salami, its chief products are chemicals, glass, and textiles. It is well-known for its outdoor concerts held each summer. Szeged is the seat of a Roman Catholic bishopric. It has a university (founded 1921), a medical school, and a large library. The first national assembly of the Magyar tribes under their chief, Arpad, met (9th or 10th cent.) in the city, which became a military stronghold and trade center of the Arpad kings. Szeged was sacked by the Tatars and the Turks and was ruled by the latter from 1542 to 1686. The city was partly destroyed by a flood in 1879 and was rebuilt in modern style. Among its landmarks are a 13th-century Romanesque tower and the 16th-century Mathias church. |

Szeged
Szeged, Hungary Segedin First mentioned in 1183, the name may be derived from szög ‘angle’, a reference to its position near a sharp bend of the Tisza River. Less plausibly, it could come from sziget ‘island’, given its location by the Tisza near its junction with the Maros River. Segedin was the Ottoman Turkish name in 1543–1688.
