Statue of Coronation of Stephen I in Esztergom, Limestone monument on Castle Hill in Esztergom, Hungary.
The statue stands 12 meters tall and depicts Stephen I kneeling to receive the crown from Archbishop Domonkos in a detailed composition.
The sculpture commemorates the coronation of Stephen I as the first King of Hungary on January 1, 1001, marking the foundation of the Hungarian state.
Created by sculptor Miklós Melocco in 2001, this monument represents a defining moment in Hungarian national identity and state formation.
The monument sits at the northern bastion of Castle Hill, offering visitors clear views of the Danube River and surrounding architectural landmarks.
