This magnificent structure, located at the end of the Andrássy Avenue UNESCO World Heritage Site, was constructed between 1896 and 1929 to commemorate the thousand-year anniversary of the Magyar tribes' arrival in the Carpathian Basin. At the heart of the monument lies a column adorned with acanthus and Corinthian capitals, representing the classical age and the contemporary period. The column supports a cross with a crown at its pinnacle, symbolizing the union of the Hungarian people and their monarchy. Surrounding the base of the monument are winged figures and statues of significant historical figures, including the seven Magyar tribe leaders who founded Hungary in the ninth century.
