St. Stephen’s Basilica
One of the major sites in Budapest, St. Stephen’s Basilica, is a massive, imposing, and quite beautiful church. Planned in the 19th century as a neo-classical building, by the time it was completed, its style had changed to more of a Renaissance style building. Supposedly, the mummified right hand of St. Stephen’, Hungary’s first king, is on display in one of the chapels but worship services on Sunday prevented me from seeing it. Perhaps, just as well…did I really need to see that?

too bad you couldn't see the hand... pretty interesting!
I love this church. so beautiful. It has undergone major renovation since we lived there - the exterior is so clean now! and it looks as if the interior has been redone as well. so beautiful. funny, i never went up in the bell tower! seeing the shots of the city brought back major memories...

Yea, it looked really clean, like it had recently undergone some refurbishment.
