Andrassy Avenue was built in connection with the celebration of the millennium of the acquisition by the Hungarians of their homeland , celebrated in 1896, according to the grandiose project of the architect Miklos Ible, with the involvement of many eminent architects of that time, including Eden Lechner . The project involved the demolition of more than two hundred houses and replacing them with new ones made in the pseudo-historical style , and the project took forty years to complete. In 1885, a new avenue in Pest became one of the most pompous streets of Europe. The prospectus changed its name several times: the original Radial Avenue was first renamed Andrassy Avenue, then after the Second World War bore the name of Stalin . In the revolutionary year of 1956, it was renamed to Molodezhi Avenue, and then until 1989 it was called the Avenue of the People's Republic. In 2002, Andrassy Avenue was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List .
