St. Stephen's Basilica, also known as St. Istvan's Cathedral, is located in Pest and is considered one of the most significant Catholic shrines in the country. The entrance to the ancient building is preceded by words from the Gospel "I am the way, and the truth, and the life," written in Latin.

The height of the basilica reaches 96 meters, including the dome, which inside is painted with scenes of the creation of the world. The church itself is designed in the neoclassical style, and its shape resembles an equilateral cross. The interior of the cathedral dazzles with its beauty and richness. In addition to numerous mosaics and stained glass windows, it houses the relics of St. Istvan, which are brought out for veneration every year on August 20th.

Определенно стоит подняться на обзорную площадку собора, где открываются отличные виды на город.

많은 성당들이 있지만 나름 겉모습도 내부도 화려한 편입니다. 테라스로 나가는 비용이 따로 있어서 내부만 관람 했네요. 대신 시간이 맞아 목요일마다 진행하는 오르간 콘서트를 예약하여 관람했습니다. 너무 좋았던 공연이었습니다.

Een zeer mooie basiliek wat zeker de moeite waard is. Ook het museum, de schatkamer is prachtig. Eenmaal boven een fantastisch uitzicht over Boedapest.
