The Beauties of Hungary: part 2 – Heroes’ square

Name: Millenium Monument on Heroes’ Square – Hősök tere, Milleniumi emlékmű

Location: Budapest

Piece count: 457

The Heroes’ Square is a major square in Budapest. In the centre of the square is the Millennium Monument, which has been finished by 1906 – ten years after the millennial celebration of the Foundation of Hungary. The central element of the monument is a column with Archangel Gabriel atop holding the sacred crown of Hungary in his hands. The base of the column is surrounded by the equestrian statues of the seven leaders of Hungary, with Árpád in the middle.

Behind the columns are two colonnades each with seven statues representing great figures of Hungarian history. The list of these figures has been changed several times in the course of time.

Really nice! Obviously the beautiful rounded walls catch your eye, and the little statue is brilliant.

This is great, nice detailing, especially the tilework on the floor which takes it from good to great.

It's so great, as being Hungarian this MOC is a really lovely thing to see, apart from that it's beautifully built, I'd totally bought it if it was an actual architecture set. Great Job Yooha on these series so far!
