The main element of the memorial site is a four-meter-wide, approximately one-hundred-meter-long structure that starts at ground level on the side of Kossuth Square and ends at a depth of four meters at Honvéd Street. The names of 12,537 Hungarian settlements according to the 1913 census are engraved on the two longitudinal, granite-clad side walls. And at the far end of the memorial site from Kossuth Square, a granite block split into several parts is lit with a perpetual candlestick, which is meant to symbolize the idea of national unity."
