Budapest largest church, whose landmark dome can be seen from all over the city, was built in Classical style between 1851 and 1905.

Inside is the Hungarian’s most revered relic – the mummified right hand of Hungary’s first monarch, King Saint Stephen.

Among many famous works of art the statues of Alajos Stróbl are well worth studying, as is the painting by Gyula Benczúr depicting St. Stephen commending his country, by the offering up of his crown, to the patronage of the Virgin Mary.

A grandiose cupola dominates the edifice offering visitors a good view of the city from its rim.

From the unique 360-degree circular lookout you can admire Budapest from a height of 65 meters. A modern and secure elevator will take you most of the way up, from where you climb to the circular lookout on a spiral staircase.
