The Memorial of the Old National Theatre, Memorial statue in District IX, Budapest, Hungary.
This commemorative monument stands in Bajor Gizi park and marks the exact location where Budapest's former National Theatre once operated before its controversial demolition in 1965.
The original National Theatre was demolished in 1965 to facilitate the construction of metro line number 2, causing significant public debate and controversy at the time.
The memorial pays tribute to Hungary's rich theatrical heritage and commemorates the cultural institution that hosted numerous performances contributing to Budapest's artistic development throughout its existence.
Located at Budapest, District IX, 1095 Hungary, the memorial is easily accessible by public transportation and situated near tram stops along the busy Nagykörút boulevard.
The memorial stone was erected in 1973 to celebrate the centenary of the National Theatre's foundation stone laying and recently underwent extensive restoration with protective treatments.
