St. Stephen’s Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika) is Budapest’s largest church. Begun in 1851 and completed in 1905, St. Stephen’s Basilica was consecrated in the name of the canonised King, Stephen I of Hungary. One of the king’s relics, his right hand – known as the Holy Right and symbolic of his incorruptibility – is housed within the church. Today, the tower of St. Stephen’s Basilica is a great place from which to enjoy views of the city.
