Judgement Tower
Sodni stolp
A round medieval city-wall tower at the western end of Lent, said to have held trial and prisoners, now used as an exhibition space.
The Judgement Tower is one of four towers from Maribor's medieval city walls still standing. Built in the 14th century, its cylindrical body rises at the western end of Lent along the Drava riverbank. It is said to have been used for trials and to hold prisoners. After restoration it serves as an art exhibition and event space, and its exterior can be viewed at any time. Walking east along the riverbank takes you past the Old Vine House and the Water Tower, making it the starting point for a stroll along the Lent city walls.
