Bem Jozsef ter

Bem József Szobor

Square Dedicated to Polish General



Address:
Bem Jozsef ter
District II
Budapest, 1027

Description

This square lies at the foot of the Margit (Margaret) Bridge, on the Buda side. It is dominated by a statue of Jozsef Bem, a beloved Polish general during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49. He was fondly called Bem Apo ('Father Bem'). The square commemorates the strategic recapture of the Pilski Bridge in 1849, which was unfortunately not sufficient to win the war. Bem fled to Turkey and became governor of Aleppo after converting to Islam.
