August 10, 2008 - Lajos Batthyány Eternal Flame

Batthyány örökmécses

The prime minister of the first responsible Hungarian government, Count Lajos Batthyány, was condemned to death by firing squad by the Austrian powers. Since 1926 an eternal flame has been burning in memory of this martyr at the place of his execution.

Hi Zsolt! Great shot!
You missed 08.08.08 at Blogtrotter, but you’re still in time to get to a non-resident view of NYC…
Have a great Sunday!

Hi Zsolt, I love the buildings; the architecture :)
I like the statue, too with the verdigris.
