At the top of Castle Hill in historic Budapest is, among many other things, a monument dedicated to the founding of the city. It features a gigantic statue of the bird that, according to legend, dropped its sword into the ground. I don't remember how the rest of the story goes, but it probably involved "battling against the Turks." Looking out across the Danube River, you can see the ornate building that houses the Hungarian Parliament.
