History

The cannon foundry of Turóczi Mózes was located south-west of the main square of Kézdivásárhely, between Petőfi Street and the small street named after him, behind his house, which still exists today. A total of 64 of Gábor Áron's 70 cannons were cast here between January and July 1849. The cannons served the purpose of the Hungarian War of Independence. Two memorial plaques on the Turóczi House commemorate the cannon foundry. His bust stands in front of his house.
