On both sides there are two famous museums - the Art Gallery and the Museum of Fine Arts. The Square with its monuments and buildings was created for the Millenary celebrations in 1896.
Vajdahunyad Castle with the statue of Anonymous
The Castle was designed to show copies of several landmark buildings from Hungary featuring Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles, now it houses the Museum of Agriculture. There is the statue of the "nameless chronicler". It is remarkable that we don't know his real name - Anonymous - so we can't see his face.
