Millennium Monument - Monumento Del Milenio Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Millennium monument -At the front of the monument is a large stone cenotaph surrounded by an ornamental iron chain. The cenotaph is dedicated `To the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of our people and our national independence.` While some guide books refer to this as a `tomb` it is not a burial place. The back of the monument consists of two matched colonnades, each with seven statues representing great figures of Hungarian history. This is a list of the statesmen who are portrayed by the sculptures in the semi-circular arcades of the monument. The topic of the relief below each figure is given below the name.
