Budapest Basilica
Budapest is full of grandiose historic sights and the St. Stephen's Basilica is no exception! Lay your eyes (and cameras) on one of the largest church buildings in present-day Hungary, and learn about the ancient legend of the seven Hungarian chieftains and the first holy king of Hungary, who defeated the pagans more than 1000 years ago.
The church is basically one of the newest ones in the city, as it was built for nearly a hundred years and only got finished in 1905. Since then, the building is a true gem in the heart of the city. Even those who don’t consider themselves religious, cannot resist the beauty of the building. The church also holds very important religious relics, including the right hand of Saint Stephen. On the day of the Hungarian Foundation (20th of August), the relic is carried around after the mass.
