Heroes Square (Hosok Tere), Budapest

















Heroes Square is the entrance to the City Park and comprises of a column topped by the Archangel Gabriel and surrounded by the great and good of Hungarian nobility - the rather scary figures under the column are the 7 tribal leaders of the original country of Hungary, led by the King Arpad. The people in the larger ring around their statues are the statues of other Hungarian kings and rulers who have led and inspired Hungarian victories across the history

In front of the column is the Cenotaph to those who have given their lives for Hungary over the centuries and about 200m to the right is the new memorial to the victims of the 1956 uprising
