Dóm tér (literally: Cathedral Square) is a large town square in Szeged, Hungary. It is one of the largest squares in Hungary (about 12,000 m2). The name Dóm tér derived from Votive Church of Szeged (Hungarian: szegedi dóm), which lies on the square. It was built from 1929 to 1932 with the surrounding university buildings. The square is also home to the medieval Dömötör Tower.
