In this charming square, you will find one of the city's earliest traditional shop signs. Located above what is now the Fekvő Katona pub, the sign consists of two parts: on the left side is a spirited young woman in traditional folk dress.
In her left hand, she holds a rooster on a tray, and in her right hand, a sharp kitchen tool. On the right side is a cloaked gentleman wearing the attire of past centuries, holding a beer mug. Also in the square, we can see the multifunctional clock sign, which not only indicates the watchmaker's shop but also displays the exact time.
Trade signs became widespread in the Middle Ages, serving advertising and informational functions that allowed even illiterate people to find the shop or craftsman they were looking for. Later on, individual guild emblems carried even more messages: the more creative and finely crafted a sign was, the more attractive the business became. Initially, only simple objects used on the premises were applied. For example, a barber shop was marked by a brass basin, a tailor's shop by scissors, and an object reflecting the name (a green barrel, a golden stag, etc.) might hang outside taverns.
