I did not have time to get up to this statue so this is the best shot I could get - shot into the sun.

The Statue of Liberty was erected in 1947 in remembrance of the Soviet liberation of Hungary from Nazi forces during World War II. Its location upon Gellért Hill makes it a prominent feature of Budapest's cityscape.

The 14 meter (46 ft) tall bronze statue stands atop a 26 meter (85.3 ft) 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.

Original Inscription was: To the memory of the liberating Soviet heroes, erected by the grateful Hungarian people in 1945.
