Liberty Statue

The Liberty Statue was originally erected in 1947 to commemorate the Soviet liberation of Hungary from Nazi Germany. Following the transition of Hungary from a Communist state to a democracy in 1989 the inscription was altered to read "To the memory of those all who sacrificed their lives for the independence, freedom, and prosperity of Hungary"

 

The main statue is a 14m tall Bronze statue of a woman holding a palm leaf - it is flanked by two (originally 4) smaller statues
