History
During the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-1849, under the leadership of Major Gábor Áron, artillery officer, there was a significant production of war material in Kézdivásárhely. The majority of the cannons were cast in the workshop of local master coppersmith Turóczi Mózes, which was located behind the house at 9 Gábor Áron Square. On 2 July 1849, Gábor Áron was killed in the Battle of Kökös.
The statue of Gábor Áron was made in 1942 by Oláh Sándor from Nagyvarjas. The statue was commissioned by the command of the Gábor Áron Royal Hungarian Artillery School of Nagyvárad. In June 1943, it was erected in the yard of the Royal Hungarian Gábor Áron Military Artillery School in Nagyvárad.
It was removed by the Romanian invaders after the war, kept in the museum for a long time, and on 8 September 1971 it was installed in the main square of Kézdivásárhely, where it is still on display.
