Hotel Aranybika
On returning to Piac utca the visitor will be attracted by the art nouveau building of the Hotel Aranybika, built in 1914, near the Reformed Church. There was an inn here as long ago as the end of the 17th C, which came into the possession of János Bika (John Bull) in the early 19th C. His inn sign portrayed a golden bull - hence the name Arany Bika (Golden Bull).
