Basilica in Eger, Cathedral and minor basilica in Eger, Hungary
The Basilica of Eger features two 55-meter towers and a central dome rising 37 meters above ground, making it Hungary's second-largest religious building.
Construction of the Basilica began in 1831 under architect József Hild's direction and reached completion in 1837, replacing a medieval church that served as a mosque.
The cathedral displays numerous sculptures created by Italian artist Marco Casagrande, including works adorning the main entrance's Corinthian colonnade and pediment.
The Basilica offers daily 30-minute organ concerts from May to September, with performances scheduled at noon and requiring admission tickets for attendance.
The heart of Archbishop János Pyrker, who commissioned the cathedral's construction, remains preserved in the central section of the building's crypt.
