History

The Hungarian Rómer Flóris Ferenc was born in Pozsony in 1815. He was a great historian in the 19th century and also a great initiator of archeology and the protection of historic monuments in Hungary. His statue was created by Stróbl Alajos and was erected on Franciscan Square in 1907. In 1998 the Slovak town administration hid it into one of the corners of the old town hall.
