PARK OF STATUES (SZOBOR - MEMENTO PARK)
Go there and contact
Statue Park, an address for discovering all the old statues erected to the glory of communism in Budapest.
What was to become of all those larger-than-life Stalin and Lenin after the change of regime? Rather than reduce the statues to rubble, it was decided to turn them into a park on the outskirts of Budapest. A statuary of impressive dimensions. In 2023, Europa Nostra, a European network for the protection of heritage, listed the Statue Park as "heritage in danger". It could therefore receive funding from the European Investment Bank.

Le guide papier, tres bien fait, est, me semble-t-il, indispensable pour comprendre le lieu.
