History
The original Garasos Bridge, whose image appears on the bronze relief, was inaugurated on 10 December 1910. It was a pedestrian bridge connecting the banks of the Körös river. The bridge was demolished in 1974 and replaced by a new one in the same year. On the centenary of the original bridge's inauguration, a commemorative plaque was placed on one of its pillars, created by the sculptor Deák Árpád from Nagyvárad. In 2011, the bronze relief was stolen, and the sculptor had a new one cast based on the original design.
