Gloria Victis
This sculpture is located in the courtyard of the Edmund G. Brown State Office Building located at 505 Van Ness Ave. Created to honor the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Gloria Victis (“Glory to the Vanquished”) stands as a tribute to courage in the face of oppression. Installed in San Francisco in 1986, the sculpture reframes loss as dignity, commemorating those who fought for freedom. It is both a memorial and a reminder that resilience, even in defeat, shapes history and collective memory.
