The Millennium Monument at the Heroes' Square

This monument was designed to commemorate Hungary's Millennium Celebrations in 1896. 



At the centre of the monument is a 36m high Corinthian column upon which stands the Archangel Gabriel  holding St Istvan's crown and a cross, signifying Hungary's conversion to Christianity under King Istvan









Statues of great Hungarians are arranged within the colonnades
