Reformátorok Tere is a meticulously restored historical memorial square located in the 16th District of Budapest, Sashalom. The site commemorates the 500th anniversary of the Reformation with a central monument featuring a bronze statue of Martin Luther. The square was inaugurated in 2017 to transform a previously neglected municipal area into a structured, landscaped public space. It incorporates limestone seating, paved pedestrian walkways, and integrated modern lighting designed to highlight the central monument. The surrounding architectural elements are intended to reflect a sense of historical continuity and religious significance. The square serves as a community hub for residents of the Sashalom neighborhood.
