In 1915-1916, the Relief of the Victorious Hungaria was carved in the castle rock as a symbol of heroism of the former Ugria. The relief was designed by the sculptor Michal Kara. Due to ideological incompatibility with a political line of the new republic, the Horice Stone-cutting school along with the academic sculptor Frantisek Duchac-Vyskocil, made in 1921 the Relief of Jan Jiskra of Brandys as a symbol of brotherhood of the two nations. It is located in the northern side of the castle rock, behind hotel Tatra.

V rokoch 1915-1916 bol v týchto miestach vytesaný podla návrhu sochára Michala Karu reliéf Vítaznej Hungárie, symbol hrdinstva bývalého Uhorska. Z dôvodu ideovej nezlucitelnosti s politickou líniou novej republiky vyhotovila v roku 1921 Horická kamenárska škola spolu s akademickým sochárom Františkom Duchácom - Vyskocilom reliéf Jána Jiskru z Brandýsa, ako symbol bratstva dvoch národov. Reliéf sa nachádza na severnej strane hradného brala za hotelom Tatra na Ul. gen. M. R. Štefánika 2.
