    Located on Szent István tér (St. Stephen's Square) in the Pest district, St. Stephen's Basilica (Hungarian: Szent István-bazilika) has been the largest church in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, since its consecration in 1905, and the concathedral of the Roman -Catholic Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest.

    Inside there is space for up to 8500 people. The church near the Chain Bridge is dedicated to the first Christian Hungarian king, Stephen. Originally it was built by Pest Germans as the parish church of St. Leopold, under the patronage of Saint Leopold of Austria, the sub-district is still called Leopoldstadt today. In the entrance area there is a sculpture of St. Gellért with his pupil St. Emeric, son of King Stephen the Saint.

      The Cathedral of St. István, inaugurated in 1905, is of beautiful architecture and, at almost 100 meters, it is also the largest church in Budapest. A tower climb is worthwhile because of the great view.
