Metal bust of casually/traditionally dressed over life size Sándor Petofi is located in courtyard of Palanok castle in Mukacheve. Bust is located on white marble pedestal and whole memorial is completed by stone plaque with Ukrainian and Hungarian inscription.

Sándor Petofi (1 January 1823 – most likely 31 July 1849)...
...was a Hungarian poet and liberal revolutionary. He is considered Hungary's national poet, and was one of the key figures of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. He is the author of the Nemzeti dal (National Poem), which is said to have inspired the revolution in the Kingdom of Hungary that grew into a war for independence from the Austrian Empire. It is most likely that he died in the Battle of Segesvár, one of the last battles of the war.
