* One of the specialities of Szeged is the musical clock as a symbol of mediaeval universities built in the wall of the square’s building opposite to the main entrance of the Cathedral. The clock, unique in Hungary is by Ferenc Csúri Szeged clockmaker and its figures are by József Kulai woodcarver. It was in 1936 when for the first time the musical clock played its tunes during the Open Air Festival. - http://www.budapest.com/hungary/szeged/sights/musical_clock.en.html
A chiming clock plays the folk song "Szeged, a famous town" at midday.

* The Bulgarian Communist Party began as a Marxist party in the year 1891 at the Congress of Buzludzha. In honor of this history instead of this stone a UFO-like meeting hall and 70-meter tower were constructed on top of the mountain. Finished in 1981, the monument was abandoned following the fall of Communism and has since been vandalized and painted with anti-Communist graffiti.

* Buzludža kongressil, salajasel kohtumisel 1891. a, sai alguse Bulgaaria kommunistlik partei. !970-ndatel aastatel tähistas seda kohta suhteliselt tagasihoidlik mälestuskivi rahvuspargis. Selle asemele püstitati 1981. aastal suurejooneline UFO-sarnane mälestushall koos 70 m kõrguse torniga, mida käisid kohustuslikus korras külastamas nii bulgaarlased ise kui ka riigi külalised. Pärast kommunistliku korra lagunemist on suurejooneline mälestusmärk väga lagunenud ja lagastatud seisus.
