The music school is housed in the former monastery next to the Franciscan church. The monastery was founded in 1442 under the aegis of the Dominicans, probably on the ruins of a Roman temple. When the Catholic religious orders were expelled by the Protestants in March 1556, the building was no longer used for religious purposes. The Hungarian Queen Izabella lived here until 1557, after which the place was converted into a school. In 1693, under pressure from the House of Habsburg, the church and monastery were returned to the Catholic Church and used by the Jesuits. Their Jesuit school existed here until 1725, after which the Franciscans returned to the city. Inside the monastery there was a famous library, the collection of which included more than a thousand volumes. After the communist authorities abolished the religious orders, the "music school" was located in the monastery building, from which the "Sigismund Toduță Music School" emerged, which still exists today.
