Executioner's Bastion

[1] Its name is derived from the fact that the bastion was situated near a medieval executioner's house.

[2] The bastion was converted in the years 1920–1930 to the needs of the East Slovak Museum.

The Memorial House of Francis II Rákóczi is a part of the Executioner's Bastion.

The exhibition in the memorial house presents relics reminding the life of the last leader of the anti-Habsburg uprising, the history of the replica of his house in Rodosto and the funeral of Rákóczi and his brothers-in-arms in Košice in 1906.

The bronze sculpture of Francis II Rákóczi was unveiled on April 3, 2006 in front of the house.
