ST. STEPHEN’S BASILICA
St. Stephen’s Basilica is one of the most significant ecclesiastic buildings of Hungary and an outstanding tourist attraction for Budapest. It also holds a holy relic, the so-called Holy Right Hand, the mummified right hand of the patron saint of the church, (St.) Stephen I, the king who founded the state of Hungary. The dome of this church, Budapest’s largest, is easily visible from anywhere in the city. The Neo-Classical style Basilica was built from 1851 to 1905. The Basilica is the final rest-place of one of the most famous Hungarians, the football player Ferenc Puskás, who was buried there in 2006; and it often hosts high-quality organ concerts as well.
