History

In 1889, the two-lane iron bridge over the Szamos River was completed. The first of the tenement buildings around the bridgeheads was the neo-Gothic Széki Palace, built in 1893 to the design of Pecz Samu. It was built by Széki Mihály, a member of a pharmacist family from Kolozsvár. Széki Mihály opened his pharmacy, named after Hunyadi Mátyás (King Matthias of Hungary), on the ground floor.
