Endre Ady is a significant representative of 20th century poetry, a revolutionary modernizer of Hungarian lyricism. In his poems and articles he was fighting for the civilian revival of the feudalistic Hungary.
The work of Miklós Melocco was erected on the northern slopes of the former castle ditch. The marble statue was erected in 1977 for the 100th anniversary of the birth of the poet. The sculptor depicts the sick poet lying in the bed. The body is fully covered by the marble "cover", only the head, the face is visible. The figure seems dead, his eyes are closed. The face was shaped after an authentic death mask taken on the day of the death of the poet. It is a unique approach of the sculptor to suggests that Ady is dead, but Ady is immortal. He depicted the moment of the transfer from existence to non-existence, the second the soul lives the body. With his statue of the immortal Endre Ady Miklós Melocco summoned this eternal soul independent of time and space.
