Reckturm (Judgement Tower), Maribor

Highlight • Historical Site

The two-story, circular defense tower with the two-tiered brick conical roof is a defensive structure whose monumental mass protected the southwest corner of the city walls. Its angular predecessor was built in 1310, but was demolished in 1532. The Reckturm was then built between 1548 and 1562. It got its popular name as the "court tower" during the time of the witch trials: women accused of witchcraft were found guilty and sentenced here. In 1937 the tower burned down and the roof and wooden floors collapsed. Rebuilt between 1957 and 1960, the tower was completely rebuilt in 2021. Since then it has been used as a cultural center for events.

World's oldest noble vine

Highlight • Natural Monument

Stara trta, the Old Vine, has been growing on the south façade of a one-story house for around 440 years. In 2004, it was entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest vine in the world. Its trunk, which is around 25 centimeters wide, branches out at a height of two meters into horizontal shoots that rest on a trellis and reach a length of 15 meters. The "Blue Kavčina" or "Velvet Black" grape variety, which is particularly resistant to diseases, is one of the oldest in Slovenia. The age of the vine was determined using a probing method with the help of a microscope.

Plague Column (Maribor)

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the main square stands the Marian sign (plague sign), which was erected in 1743 on the site of the older plague sign from 1681. It was made by Jožef Straub on behalf of the citizens of Maribor as a thank you for the end of the plague in the city.

Maribor Main Square (Glavni Trg)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Main Square (Glavni trg) is the central square in Maribor. It has been a pedestrian zone since 2020. The first documented mention dates back to 1315. Until the Middle Ages and the first half of the 20th century, the main square was a busy place of trade.

Maribor's main bridge over the Drava (popularly known as the Stari Most, or Old Bridge) was built between 1909 and 1913. It replaced a previous wooden bridge a few meters further west. The bridge, which was an important part of the transport connection between Vienna and Trieste in Austria-Hungary, is 274 meters long, 122 meters of which actually span the Drava. Since 2023, the Splavarska Brv pedestrian and cyclist bridge has been docked to the Old Bridge.
