St. Stephen’s Basilica

St. Stephen’s Basilica

Hungary

Nestled in Budapest’s vibrant heart, this awe-inspiring edifice is Hungary's largest church and a marvel of neo-classical architecture. Named after the nation’s first king, Saint Stephen, its imposing dome, reaching 96 metres, rivals that of the Hungarian Parliament Building, symbolising equal stature between church and state. Inside, sunlight dances through ornate stained-glass windows, illuminating lavish marble and gilded interiors. Notably, it houses the mummified right hand of the revered king himself—a relic affording the basilica an intriguing holy appeal. The panoramic views from its dome reveal a breathtaking tapestry of Budapest's unique skyline.
