What you'll see
A vast open square at the top of Andrássy Avenue, with a tall column topped by the archangel Gabriel and two curved colonnades of statues of Hungary's kings and leaders. Art museums stand on both sides.
A brief history
It was laid out for the 1896 celebrations of a thousand years since the Magyars arrived; the seven horsemen at the foot of the column are the chiefs of the founding tribes.
