Budapest, Hungary
Heroes' Square
Heroes' Square is one of the major squares in Budapest, Hungary, noted for its iconic Millennium Monument with statues featuring the Seven chieftains of the Magyars and other important Hungarian monarchs and national leaders, as well as the Memorial Stone of Heroes, often erroneously referred as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Some of the statues of the monument were replaced several times up until the middle of the 20th century, reflecting the political climate of the time. Heroes' Square was shaped by each political system in its own way, but its role and meaning remained the same.
