The Klapka Square presents its dominant feature – the statue of György Klapka, a representative of the Hungarian Revolution in 1848-49. In 1849 general Klapka was in command of defence of Komárno as the last fort of revolutionists against Austrian imperial army. The building of Komárno Town hall even today serves as the municipal office. The first town-hall building together with many other buildings in Komárno was destroyed by extensive earthquake in 1763. From then the town-hall was several times destroyed again and rebuilt. It received its current shape in 1875. At 10 am, 12 am, 2 pm and 4 pm the Hussars March can be heard at the square while a hussar’s figure comes out of a little door in the town hall tower.
