St. Stephen's Basilica
St. Stephen's Basilica
St. Stephen's Basilica is a large house of worship in Budapest featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with a prominent dome that shapes the city's skyline. The interior contains a spacious nave, decorated columns, and richly appointed chapels with religious artworks throughout.
Construction began in 1851 and was completed in 1905, reflecting the long journey of this building's creation. It was built as a symbol of Hungarian Christianity and played an important role in the nation's religious and cultural story.
The Basilica is named after Saint Stephen, Hungary's first Christian king, and holds deep significance for national identity. Inside, you will find religious artworks and a sacred relic of the saint in a shrine that remains a meaningful place for believers.
The Basilica is easy to reach in the city center with good public transportation connections nearby. The building is open to visitors and provides seating inside, with modest dress recommended to show respect during your visit.
The roof of this church offers a special view of Budapest when visitors climb to the dome, something often overlooked. The panoramic sight from above reveals the city from a perspective most tourists miss.
