The entrance to the Hungarian Calvary in Sátoraljaújhely, a historical memorial built atop Szár-hegy, commemorates the town divided by the Trianon Treaty. Severely damaged during World War II and later neglected under the communist regime, the site was restored through community efforts after 1989. The Hungarian Calvary was rededicated on August 19, 1990, and later renovations included the Saint Stephen Chapel and the National Flag monument.

The statue of Baron József Eötvös, designed in a historicist style, was originally planned for Erzsébet Square but was ultimately erected along the Danube Promenade in 1879, with a base designed by Miklós Ybl and executed by Jakab Kauser from Mauthausen granite. Depicting Eötvös in traditional Hungarian dress holding a scroll, the 390 cm bronze statue and its 459 cm pedestal once stood within an ornate iron fence, which was removed during its 1981 relocation after wartime and urban redevelopment. As one of the two symbolic endpoints of the classical Danube Promenade, the Eötvös monument, alongside Petőfi’s, contributed to the iconic architectural harmony of Budapest’s riverside landscape.
