One of them was used as a model for the statue of Janko Kráľ located in a park called Sad Janka Kráľa (literally Janko Kráľ Garden) in Bratislava - Petržalka. He is buried in the National Cemetery in Martin.
He was one of the first poets to start writing in the Slovak language standard freshly codified (in 1843 by Ľudovít Štúr and his companions.
