Františka Andrássyová Memorial, Historic City Core, Rožňava
The prominent Art Nouveau monument has a Carrara marble bust of Františka Andrássyová accompanied by an old man and two children. It is the work of sculptors Ján Horvay and Edmund Szamovolszký. Richard Berndl, architect of the Krásna Hôrka mausoleum, designed the setting. Built in 1905 through public donations in memory of the town's benefactress, wife of Count Dionýz Andrássy, the monument was restored to its original location in 1993, twenty years after its removal from the square.
Prvá písomná zmienka o Rožňave sa nachádza v darovacej listine z roku 1291 vystavenej ostrihomskému arcibiskupovi Ladomérovi kráľom Ondrejom III. V roku 1382 dostala osada okolo farského kostola od kráľa Ľudovíta I. mestské práva. Z tejto pôvodnej baníckej osady vzniklo mesto Rožňava, ktorého história je úzko spätá s ťažbou zlata, striebra, medi a železnej rudy. Názov Rožňava je odvodený z názvu mimoriadne výnosnej bane Rosnoubana (Rozsnyóbánya, Rosenau).
