Gate sights in Hungary

1. A Map

   Heroes' Gate

   • Szeged, Hungary
   • Sights › Gate

   Heroes' Gate was erected in 1936 in honour of Horthy's White Guards, who were responsible for 'cleansing' the nation of 'Reds' after the ill-fated Republic of Councils in 1919. The fascistic murals have disappeared (replaced with some 'nice' but amateurish ones), but the brutish sculptures are still a sight to behold.

   Fidelity Gate at the bottom of the Firewatch Tower (tűztorony) shows 'Hungaria' receiving the civitas fidelissima (Latin for 'the most loyal citizenry') of Sopron. It was erected in 1922 after that crucial referendum.
