Orb

The most well-known symbol of Székesfehérvár is Béla Ohmann’s piece of art, however its inscriptions’ significance is not known for everone. The dates under the lions represent important things: 1001- St Stephen’s coronation, 1688- the liberation of the town from the Turkish reign, 1938- 900th anniversary of St. Stephen’s death.

The meaning of the Latin inscription around the Orb: St Stephen donated the fundamental freedoms of Fehérvár. Under the Orb, once upon a time, an ice store for food had existed, that was used as a prison during the Turkish time.
