One of the central squares of Budapest, whose architectural ensemble was created for the 1000th anniversary of Hungary in 1896, can be regarded as a history textbook containing information about the figures who, in one way or another, influenced the formation of the nation.
Adjacent to Heroes' Square is the avenue named after Count Gyula Andrassy, the foreign minister of Austria-Hungary in the second half of the 19th century.
The first thing you see when you arrive at the square is a tall column with the Archangel Gabriel at the top. Behind the monument are two colonnades that serve as a memorial to the heroes of Hungary. Between the columns, you can notice numerous bronze sculptures — depictions of Hungary's most important historical figures: princes, saints, and representatives of various ruling dynasties.
At the stone slab installed in memory of the soldiers who fell during the wars of the 20th century, you can see an honor guard and flower-laying ceremonies on holidays.
The two large neoclassical buildings on either side of Heroes' Square are the museums of fine arts and contemporary art.
Near the square is Varoshliget City Park, where you can have a pleasant time and relax.
