History

The largest building in the town is located on the corner of the former Jókai Mór and Iskola (School) streets. The Piarist school was founded by King Charles III of Hungary in the 18th century. Its modern building was built in 1911-1912 in Art Nouveau style, based on the designs of architects Baumgarten Sándor and Herczegh Zsigmond (who are credited with the design of hundreds of schools throughout Hungary), and was built by Fuchs and Co from Beregszász. The building is now occupied by a Romanian secondary school, the Dragoș Vodă Lyceum.
