The historical monument was erected for the 1000th anniversary of the state foundation. Here used to be the main entrance of the Millennium’s World Fair. The constructions of the impressive memorial lasted for several decades, between 1894 and 1929. The first figure to erect was the statue of Genius standing at the top of the huge column in 1901, surrounded by the equestrian statues of Árpád and the Seven Leaders on the plinth. Statues of Hungarian rulers and great persons decorate the semicircular monument while under these various events of their lives can be seen on relieves. In front of the main column the memorial of heroes and martyrs of the revolution was placed. The square is bordered by the Museum of Fine Arts and the Hall of Arts.
