According to legend, it is this almost mythological bird among Hungarians, the symbolic "turul", that led Árpád, the ancestor of the Magyars, to the Carpathian basin. It is not clear what type of bird it was, probably an eagle or a falcon. In any case, the word is of Turkish origin (where it simply means little bird). The representation of the turul is omnipresent in Hungary around historic sites.

Très belle statue en effet, qui a une symbolique très forte en Hongrie. Je vous direz des bêtises si j'essayais de vous réexpliquer l'histoire, mais prenez le temps de demander à un Hongrois de vous expliquer! C'est vraiment une belle histoire :)
Fine bronze statue next to the royal palace and its monumental gate.
