Budapest Travel—Visiting St. Stephen’s Basilica

View of St. Stephen's Basilica from Zrínyi u. (Street)

St. Stephen’s Basilica (Hungarian: Szent István-Bazilika ⭐⭐), is a Roman Catholic basilica in Budapest, Hungary. It is named in honor of Stephen, the first King of Hungary (c 975–1038), whose right hand is housed in the reliquary.

Today St. Stephens’s Basilica represents the third largest church in Hungary. Many sculptors have contributed to the inner decoration of St. Stephen’s Basilica: more than 50 different types of marble were used to shape a number of sculptures. 

Just like the Hungarian Parliament Building, the Basilica is one of the tallest buildings of Budapest with its 96 meters (or 29 stories).
