Budapest 


Saint Stephen's Cathedral


 
Saint Stephen’s Cathedral was originally to be named after Saint Leopold, the patron saint of Austria, but this was changed to honour Saint Stephen who was the first King of Hungary. Constructed in the 1850s it had to be completely rebuilt when the dome collapsed in 1858 during construction. It is the largest church in Budapest and the third-largest church building in present-day Hungary. It was created a basilica in 1931 by Pope Pius XI. READ MORE
