HEROES’ SQUARE
The three dominant elements of this grandiose square are the Art Gallery built in 1896, the Museum of Fine Arts that opened its doors in December of 1906, and the Millennium Monument which visually connects the two. On top of the Monument’s 36-metre-high central column stands the Archangel Gabriel who holds Hungary’s Holy Crown and the apostolic double cross. The monument displays features of the eclectic style and is arranged in a semicircular shape. Among the columns of the semi-colonnades to the left and right, 7 bronze statues of famous personalities from Hungarian history stand on either side.
