In front of the Cathedral of St. László.

History

Opposite the main entrance of the cathedral is the bronze statue of Saint László by Tóth István, consecrated by Cardinal Schlauch Lőrinc on 10 September 1893. The statue, together with the four lions surrounding it, originally stood in the main square of the town, from where it was exiled to the garden of the Bishop's Palace in 1923 after the Romanian occupation.
