History

The statue of Iosif Vulcan is the work of Fekete József and has been standing at the end of the street bearing his name (originally Rimanóczy Kálmán Street) since 1964. Iosif Vulcan (1841-1907) was a Vlach writer from Hungary. He was born into a Greek Catholic clergyman's family, attended the Premonstratensian grammar school in Nagyvárad and studied law at the University of Pest. He played a significant role in the dissemination of Romanian culture.
