Heroes Square - Budapest - Hungary
Budapest's grandest square closes off Andrßssy ·t, with City Park right behind. Marking the end of stylish Andrßssy ·t, this monumental edifice is a majestic memorial of the thousand-year history of Hungarians in Europe. Each part of the monument represents an important section of Hungarian history. In the focus of the semicircular colonnade stands the bronze statue of Archangel Gabriel on a 36-meter-high column, which was awarded a Grand Prix at the Paris World Exposition in 1900. According to an old Hungarian legend, the angel appeared in the dreams of first Hungarian king Saint Stephen and gave him the holy crown. The equestrian statues of the seven legendary chieftains who lead migrating Hungarians to the Carpathian Basin stand on the pedestal of the obelisk. The two circular peristyles present statues of famous kings, emperors and personalities of Hungarian history. The solemnity and pomp of the statue park is further heightened by the two old museum buildings on either side.

Independence Square - Philadelphia
Independence Square. In 1827 the founders of Jackson County mapped out the Independence Square as the county seat. They could not have foreseen the role this shady hilltop, rich with springs of fresh water, would play in the course of the nation. Visitors to Independence today will find a traditional town square at the heart of a thriving suburb of 116,000. Although the springs no longer flow, the history does.
