In front of the altar of the church visitors may view a famous bell, brought to Orosháza by the first settlers of the town arriving from the settlement of Zomba. The streets of the town are given a pleasant character by various statutes and monuments, including the statute of Szent István (St. Stephen, the first Hungarian King) by László Rajki, as well as several works of art by János Horvay and János Pásztor.
