Monument to Sandor Petőfi (1823-1849). He was the national poet of Hungary, one of many men who inspired Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849. Although it was the very strange revolution because Hungarians fought for the recreation of their national independence from Austria but the same time they denied independence and rights of Croats, Slovaks and Slovenians. Death of Petőfi is the enigma till nowadays. Probably he was killed in action in the Battle of Segesvar between Hungarian revolutionaries and Russian Imperial Army in 1849. Or, according to some sources, he died from tuberculosis being POW. As Hungarians say, "disappeared as Petőfi in the fog". Pest, Budapest, 🇭🇺 Hungary 🇭🇺. November 11, 2021.

The installation of the statue was initiated by the violinist Ede Reményi, and he greatly contributed financially to its creation. Due to the death of Miklós Izsó, it was necessary for Adolf Huszár to finish the work. The plinth and the lattice surrounding the statue were designed by Miklós Ybl. The gray granite pedestal is 535 cm high, and the bronze statue of the poet is 375 cm high. I think this statue is one of the most characteristic works of Budapest, a starting point in the city.

A sculpture of the famous Hungarian poet, whose work inspired the Hungarians to wage a war of liberation against the Austrian emperor. Unfortunately, the war was lost then.

Budapest is a beautiful city.

This is statue dedicated to Sándor Petőfi who wrote a poem called The National Song which is said to have inspired the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. He was one of the young leaders of the revolution and was key in starting the revolution in Pest. You will find lots of places names after Petőfi in Hungary. The National Song: On your feet, Hungary, the homeland calls! The time is here, now or never! Shall we be slaves or free? This is the question, choose your answer! - By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! We were slaves up til now, Damned are our ancestors, Who lived and died free, Cannot rest in a slave land. By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! Useless villain of a man, Who now, if need be, doesn't dare to die, Who values his pathetic life greater Than the honor of his homeland. By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! The sword shines brighter than the chain, Decorates better the arm, And we still wore chains! Return now, our old sword! By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! The Magyar name will be great again, Worthy of its old, great honor; Which the centuries smeared on it, We will wash away the shame! By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! Where our grave mounds lie, Our grandchildren will kneel, And with blessing prayer, Recite our sainted names. By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer!

(Translated by Google) Bronze statue, placed on the promenade of the long Danube to pay homage to Sandor Petrofi, a Hungarian poet and patriot. He is considered the poet symbol of Hungarian national romanticism, as well as being a key figure of the Hungarian revolution of 1848, like so many European scholars in the revolts that upset the European socio-political balance in the mid-1800s. It deserves more attention! @ gargio76 (Original) Statua bronzea, posta sulla promenade del lungo Danubio per rendere omaggio a Sandor Petrofi, un poeta e patriota ungherese. Egli è considerato il poeta simbolo del romanticismo nazionale ungherese, oltre a essere una figura chiave della rivoluzione ungherese del 1848, come tanti letterati europei nei moti che sconvolsero l'equilibrio socio - politico europeo nella metà del 1800. Meriterebbe maggior attenzione! @gargio76

Wandering near the Danube, going from the Elizabeth Bridge towards the Chain Bridge, we saw the Statue of Sandor Petofi; simple, on three steps rests a rectangular base above which the figure of the Hungarian Poet and Patriot stands.

Beautiful statue at the foot of the Danube, ideal for sitting down for a while and resting. A shame that the drinking fountains don't work.

(Translated by Google) The tour guide's route will also stop here for a few explanations about the prominent personality of Sandor Petofi. The statue is located near the boulevard, near the cliff. (Original) Traseul ghidului turistic se va opri și aici pentru câteva explicații despre personalitatea proeminentă a lui Sandor Petofi. Statuia este amplasată lângă bulevard ,în apropierea falezei.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, spectacular sculpture on the Danube promenade next to March 15 Square! (Original) Nagyon szép,látványos szobor a Duna korzón a Március 15 tér mellett!

(Translated by Google) The place itself is a shady park with a view of Gellert Hill. At the same time, there is an opportunity for it in terms of an event, as has been the case in the recent past. (Original) Önmagában a hely egy árnyékos park rálátással a Gellérthegyre. Ugyanakkor rendezvény szempontjából van benne lehetőség, ahogy az elmúlt időszakban volt rá példa.
