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.
