History

By 1890, the seat of Hunyad County was completed in German Renaissance style, based on the plans of Alpár Ignác, at the instigation of ispán Pogány György, and vice ispán Barcsa Kálmán.

Opposite the entrance to the town park at the foot of the Castle Hill stands the building of the former county hall with a tower and the coat of arms of the Hunyadi family. In front of it is an atmospheric fountain cast in bronze and decorated with frogs.
