History

The bust of the poet and journalist Salamon Ernő (1912-1943), a native of the town, who died young and professed communist views, is standing in front of the school named after him. His statue was unveiled in 1968 for propaganda purposes when the former Royal Hungarian Grammar School took his name. The school still bears his name.
