Budapest - Millennium Monument 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.
