History

The former centre of Arad Counry was built in 1821 in the neoclassical style. Its designer is unknown. For a time it was the seat of the court and there was a prison in its basement. When the county administration was expanded in 1870-71, a similar neoclassical twin building was erected opposite the building (at No 81).
