The neo-Classical St. Stephen's Basilica is the largest church in Hungary - 87.4m long, 55m wide, 96m high with the dome.
Building of the church started in 1851 and was complete in 1905. Several architects worked on the church - Jozsef Hild, Miklos Ybl and Jozsef Kauser.
St. Stephen's Basilica is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary, whose mummified hand is housed in the reliquary.
Hungary's biggest bell (over 9 tons) can be found in the southern tower.
For a fee, visitors can take in a 360° view of Budapest by taking an elevator or 364 stairs to the dome.
Guided tours are also available of the church for a fee.
