Have you ever heard about the Heroes Square?
Heroes Square is one of the major squares in Budapest. The square lies at the outbound end of Andrássy Avenue next to the City Park.
Its name came from the iconic statue complex featuring the 7 chieftains of the Magyars and other important national leaders.
It hosts the Palace of Art on it’s right and the Museum of Fine Arts on it’s left.
The central feature of Heroe’s Square, as well as a landmark of Budapest, is the Millenium Memorial.
At the front of the monument, there is a large stone cenotaph surrounded by an ornamental iron chain. It is dedicated to the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of our people and our national independence.
In the middle, there is the column and on the top of the column depicts Archangel Gabriel, who holds the Hungarian Holy Crown of St. Stephen our first king of Hungary in his left hand and the apostolic double cross in his left hand.
Behind the Millenium Monument here is the gothic styled Vajdahunyad Castle.
This Castle is in the City Park of Budapest which was built in 1896 as a part of the Millenial Exhibition.
