History

The memorial was erected in 2006 to commemorate the "400 years of the town of Nagyszalonta". The town was founded by 300 hajdú warriors settled by Prince Bocskai István of Transylvania in 1606. It is located at the foot of two oak trees planted in the Elizabeth Park during the millennium celebrations in 1896. The monument depicts two hajdú soldiers standing in front of a double gate with the town's coat of arms.
