Hösök Tér – Heroes Square
Heroes Square is one of the most famous sights of Budapest. It is located on the end of Andrássy street, near the City Park. In the center of the Square is the statue of Archangel Gabriel, surrounded by the seven leaders of the settling Hungarians. There are statues of other significant ungarian statesmen as well, including St. Stephen, King Matthias, and Louis Kossuth. The famous monument was built for the 1000th anniversary of the founding of Hungary, in 1896. The Heroes Square is surrounded by the National Art Gallery on one side, and the Museum of Fine Art on the other, both offering various regular exhibitions as well as those of foreign museums.

I love this picture. I lived in Budapest for 5 years. Is there a way I could get a copy of it? Please email me at imericsson –at–yahoo.com Thanks so much!
I’ll dig out the hi-res version and mail it to you.
Hey Rob, Thanks! I never did receive something. Did you by chance send it?
