 This
is the Millennium Monument in Heroes Square, Budapest. It was erected
to mark the 1000 year anniversary of Hungary being settled by the
Magyars (896). In fact, the language of Hungary is Magyar, and the
country is not called Hungary in Magyar, it is called Magyar
Köztársaság. Got it? Good. Well, to mark the Millennium, the city of
Budapest started building like crazy in a decade long festival and
celebration. Here are some of the building structures that were made
during this time
period. Some buildings even have 96 steps to mark
the date. Problem is, some of these buildings were finished after the
magical year (like the monument).
 
This furnicular leads up to the
Castle District.
