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.
Two colonnades, installed behind the column, are dedicated to the famous rulers of Hungary, prominent military leaders and statesmen, whose figures can be seen in the lumens of the colonnades. Above, on the edges of the colonnades are sculptural compositions of Peace and War, the upper cornice of the friezes is decorated with sculptural images representing Labor and Prosperity, as well as Knowledge and Valor.
