The Heroes’ square

Budapest (Hungary)

The Heroes’ square is located at the end of Andrássy Avenue.
It is listed as a World Heritage site.
The millennial monument was built in 1896 to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the arrival of Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin.
(Some claim this was a major mistake of the ancestors. We do not comment on that here.)
The monument consists of two semi-circles on the top of which the symbols of War and Peace, Work and Welfare, Knowledge and Glory can be seen.
