Turnul Primăriei Oradea

The Oradea Town Hall Tower rises above the imposing seat of the city administration, built at the start of the twentieth century in an eclectic style on the bank of the Crișul Repede River. The tower, almost fifty metres tall, was designed with inspiration from European models and offers from its height one of the finest panoramas over the historic centre of Oradea, a city famous for the wealth of its Secession-style buildings. The clock in the tower marks the hours, and at certain moments of the day a musical fragment sounds from here, a tradition beloved by locals.

Climbing the more than two hundred steps to the viewing balcony is rewarded with a view over the squares, churches, and colourful roofs of the city. Visitors keen on architecture will appreciate the perspective from above over the urban ensemble. It is advisable to check locally the opening schedule of the tower.
