Szabadság Szobor - Global Citizenship Summer School (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Szabadság Szobor was first erected in 1947 in remembrance of the Soviet occupation of Hungary during World War II, which ended the occupation by Nazi Germany. Its location upon Gellért Hill overlooking the Danube makes it a prominent feature of Budapest's cityscape.
The 14m tall bronze statue stands atop a 26m pedestal and holds a palm leaf. Two smaller statues are also present around the base, but the original monument consisted of two more originally that have since been removed from the site and relocated to Statue Park.
