The central core of the monument is a 36-meter column, topped by the figure of the archangel Gabriel, who holds in his right hand the crown of the first Hungarian king Stephen I the Holy, and in the left - a double cross. It is worth noting that the figure of the archangel in 1900 won the Grand Prix at the World's Fair in Paris. The base of the column is surrounded by seven horsemen - leaders of seven Hungarian tribes who came to Hungarian lands and founded a state led by Prince Arpad, the founder of the first dynasty of Hungarian kings.→
