History
On 26 May 2008, a sculpture by Arad sculptor Kocsis Rudolf was unveiled in front of the Reformed Church.
Fábián Gábor was a writer, poet, literary translator, member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Member of Parliament for the district of Világos during the 1848 Revolution. He was the head guardian of the Reformed congregation during the building of the church.
A bust of Fábián Gábor has been erected before. Philipp István's statue was erected in 1912 in the small park in front of the Reformed Church. On the night of 4 September 1934, the statue was knocked down by unknown assailants (i.e. coward Romanian nationalists). The damaged bust was kept for a time in the mayor's office next to the demolished Kossuth statue, but later disappeared.
