Cathedral of the Visitation, Catholic cathedral in Szombathely, Hungary.

The Cathedral of the Visitation exhibits Neoclassical architecture with grand columns, reaching a height of 62.5 meters in the city center.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1791 following the establishment of the Diocese of Szombathely in 1777, with completion of interior works in 1814.

The cathedral stands on the ancient forum of Savaria, connecting modern religious practices with the historical foundations of one of Hungary's oldest settlements.

Regular guided tours provide visitors access to the cathedral's main areas, including detailed explanations of the architectural elements and religious artifacts.

The original ceiling frescoes by Franz Anton Maulbertsch did not survive World War II bombing, leading to subsequent interior restoration efforts.
