History

Petőfi Sándor was the poet of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution. The bronze statue of Petőfi Sándor, the work of Hunyadi László, was unveiled in December 2000 in a small park at the intersection of Kossuth Lajos and Arany János streets. A bust of Rákóczi Ferenc II once stood on this site, which was torn down by the occupying Romanians in 1919.
