National Unity Memorial, National monument in front of Parliament Building, Budapest, Hungary
The National Unity Memorial stands in front of the Parliament Building and leads visitors down a 100-meter walkway below ground level. The walls display names of about 12,485 Hungarian settlements carved into granite tiles, with each tile's size representing the population of that settlement.
The memorial was erected in 2020 and marks the centennial of the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, which redefined Hungary's borders after World War I. It commemorates a moment that fundamentally reshaped the nation.
The granite tiles display names of all Hungarian settlements and reflect a time before the country's borders were redrawn. Visitors can understand how Hungary looked then and which places now belong to neighboring nations.
The memorial sits at the intersection of Alkotmany Street and Kossuth Square and is wheelchair accessible. An information system helps visitors locate specific settlement names on the tiles.
Seven granite segments surround an eternal flame at the site, representing Hungary and the neighboring countries that emerged from the lost Hungarian territories after 1920. This arrangement shows how many nations were formed from what Hungary once held.
