Budapest - Millennium Monument

(Local Name: Millénniumi emlékmu) The Millennium Monument (Millénniumi emlékmu), unveiled at the end of the 19th C, is the dominant feature of the square. The 36m (118ft) high column is crowned by a figure of the Archangel Gabriel by György Zala. Around the plinth can be seen a group of horsemen in bronze representing the conquering Magyar Prince Árpád and six of his fellow warriors.

On either side of the column colonnades extend in a semi-circle. Between the individual pillars stand statues of Hungarian rulers, and above the corner pillars are beautiful works in bronze by Zala. In front of the Millennium Monument stands a memorial to the Unknown Soldier.
