The story of the place

The park next to the hotel is home to the bronze statue of the poet József Attila, made in 1955 by the Oradea sculptor Nándor Wagner. Because of the disputes of the time and the artist’s emigration in 1956, the statue was not unveiled until 2005.

Address: Str. Parcul Petőfi Sándor, Oradea (~150 m from the hotel)
Opening hours and tickets: It may be admired from the street at any time.
Full name: Petőfi Sándor Park (Hungarian: Petőfi park)
