Zero Kilometre Stone, Limestone sculpture at Clark Adam Square, Budapest, Hungary.

The Zero Kilometre Stone stands three meters high, featuring a carved zero symbol and the inscription 'KM' on its rectangular limestone pedestal.

The original distance marker was placed at Buda Royal Palace until 1849, when it moved to its current location following the Chain Bridge construction.

This monument, created by sculptor Miklos Borsos in 1975, replaced previous installations including a Madonna statue and a worker figure from different periods.

The sculpture serves as the central reference point for measuring all road distances throughout Hungary, positioned at coordinates 47.4978912, 19.0401584.

The stone's pedestal displays distance measurements to various Hungarian cities, making it both an informational tool and a geographic landmark.
