Heroes Square in Budapest

The Heroes’ square is one of the most visited sights in Budapest.
Hősök tere is surrounded by two important buildings, Museum of Fine Arts on the left




and Palace of Art (or Art Exhibition Museum) on the right.


The central site of the hero's square, as well as a landmark of Budapest, is the Millennium Memorial (also known as Millennium Monument or Millenary Monument) with statues of the leaders of the seven tribes that founded Hungary in the 9th century and other outstanding figures of Hungarian history (see below). The construction of the memorial was started when the one thousandth anniversary was celebrated (in 1896), but it was finished only in 1929 and the square got its name then.
