St. Stephen’s Basilica (Hungarian: Szent István-Bazilika ⭐⭐) is a Roman Catholic basilica located in Budapest, Hungary. It is named in honor of Stephen, the first King of Hungary (c. 975–1038), whose right hand is preserved in the basilica’s reliquary.
Today, St. Stephen’s Basilica is the third-largest church in Hungary. Many sculptors contributed to its interior decoration; more than 50 different types of marble were used to create numerous sculptures. Like the Hungarian Parliament Building, the Basilica is one of the tallest structures in Budapest, standing at 96 meters (approximately 29 stories).
