In the center of Heroes' Square a 118-foot stone column is crowned by a statue of the archangel Gabriel, his outstretched arms bearing the ancient emblems of Hungary. At the base of the statue are seven bronze horsemen. In front of the column lies a marble slab, the National War Memorial, where visiting foreign dignitaries lay a ceremonial wreath as did Queen Elizabeth II on her 1992 visit. Pope John Paul II conducted a mass in the square in 1991.
