4.5 based on 883 reviews
Built in the first half of the nineteenth century, the largest cathedral in Hungary incorporates the red marble Rakocz Chapel, a fine example of Renaissance art.
Reviewed By DerAlteBach - Sydney, Australia
The basilica is an architectural masterpiece. Built in the early nineteenth century, it incorporates the Bakócz Chapel, built by Italian masters between 1506–1507 out of red marble from Süttő. The crypt contains a most moving memorial to Cardinal József Mindszenty. An amusing note: different tickets need to be purchased to visit the various areas of the basilica. Accordingly, there are ticket checkers stationed all over the huge building to ensure that visitors have paid appropriately. The panorama coffee bar is situated halfway up the staircase to the gigantic dome. That part of the spiral staircase is "sealed," in the sense that there are no entrances into the spiral staircase other than at the bottom. Nevertheless, my ticket with first checked at the bottom, and then again when I reached the panorama level, despite the fact that there was no way I could possibly have climbed to the panorama level without passing the ticket checker at the bottom!
