István Járdányi Paulovics Ruin Garden

The so-called Püspökkert stands out as a green isle in the center of the town, where excavations discovered significant groups of buildings in the Colonia Claudia Savaria established in around 50 AD. The foundation of the palace was possibly 200 times 200 metres. At present we only know the Western and Eastern area of the gigantic building, for the medieval round castle and the girls' school were erected on the same site.

Sándor Petőfi Memorial Museum

The building of the museum was built in 1823, the year of the birth of Petőfi. It was built by István Szűcs, which is perceivable on a sign in the hallway down to the cellar. The building functioned as a living quarter until 1960. In this very year the teacher Lajos Szabó tried everything to have the building renovated. This enterprise was successful and since that time this little building serves as our museum.
