Heroes' Square, Public square in Budapest, Hungary
The plaza contains the Millenary Monument with a 118-foot (36-meter) central column topped by Archangel Gabriel holding Hungarian symbols, surrounded by curved colonnades on both sides displaying bronze leadership figures from different historical periods.
Construction began in 1896 to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of the Magyar conquest, displaying statues of Prince Árpád and six tribal chieftains, with fourteen statues of rulers added to the colonnades between 1896 and 1929.
The central plaza serves as a national memorial site where official state ceremonies and wreath-laying events honor Hungarians who sacrificed their lives for the country's independence, making the monument a focal point of remembrance.
The plaza is accessible via multiple tram lines and Metro line M1, with the Museum of Fine Arts and Hall of Art located on opposite sides, while Budapest City Park begins directly behind it offering free access year-round.
The Memorial Stone inscription has been altered multiple times to reflect changing political systems, with the current version appearing after the 1956 uprising using more neutral phrasing than previous communist or fascist iterations.
