According to a tradesman, Szeged was placed on the map in because of its paprika. The paprika originated in Middle America. In Hungary it became acclimatized in the second half of the 16th century, but was used as a grocery only in the second half of the 19th century. Professionalism, diligence, and the conjecture made the paprika producers the most bourgeois layer of society in Szeged.

The historic statue pantenon was raised in 2001 around the square in front of the Árpád satute for the 1000th anniveasray of the organization of the Hungarian state.

The year 1896 is not only the time of the birth of the Feszty-Cyclorama but also the time of the heydays of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. This was the period when the development of the Hungarian economy was extremely spectacular. The 'promenade' was the walk of the towns of the time. The social life, the holidays, and the weekdays were spent there. Business relationships, social life, and entertainment found their way of expression on the walks.
