Colourful town, colourful culture<\/span><\/p>\n

Orosh\u00e1za maintains long cultural traditions of high quality music, fine art and literature.<\/h2>\n

These traditions are prefectly reflected by the institutions of the local cultural life. The cultural offer of the town is a mixture of present and past aspirations.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see the most important monuments. The Historical Memorial Park can be found in front of Mih\u00e1ly T\u00e1ncsics secondary high school for two decads. In the center of the statue park the Gate of sorrow and the figure of a crying woman can be found. All around, in the park, in chronological order, the decisive episodes of the history are symbolized by rustic, unformed blocks of stone immortalizing the important dates of the Hungarian history.<\/p>\n

At Vilmos Gy\u0151ri square we can see the statue of Saint Stephen, the first Hungarian king. This statue is the work of L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Rajki, born in Orosh\u00e1za. The famous statue of Kossuth, restored by L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Rajki. Other sights not to miss: the statue of Mih\u00e1ly T\u00e1ncsics,the statue of J\u00e1nos Sz\u00e1nt\u00f3 Kov\u00e1cs, S\u00e1ndor Pet\u0151fi statue, J\u00f3zsef E\u00f6tv\u00f6s statue and the statue of Heroes.<\/p>\n

The center of local cultural life is Pet\u0151fi Cultural Center. The institution organises and supports a wide spectrum of programmes to promote Hungarian art and artists. During the high season festivals and concerts are held in different scenes of the town.<\/p>\n

The Public Library of the town can be found in this building. Apart from its classic duties the Library organises and hosts a large number of events that are of interest to their members, such as: writer-reader meetings, panel discussions and a programme running under the name: Loose your book, that gained international success.<\/p>\n

The Gyula Nagy Regional Museum <\/a>of Orosh\u00e1za presents the local traditions. During the past years the institution has gained national importance. Last but not least we have to mention J\u00f3zsef Darvas Memorial House<\/a>, hosting the Literary Collection of B\u00e9k\u00e9s County. J\u00f3zsef Darvas was a Hungarian writer, politician and sociographer.<\/p>\n
