It took more than half a century to build, partly because the first dome collapsed in 1868, and it was consecrated in 1905. It is dedicated to St Stephen, Hungary's first king, and its dome is 96 metres high, the same as Parliament's.
A side chapel holds the Holy Right, the king's mummified hand and the country's most revered relic. A lift and some stairs take you up to the circular terrace below the dome, with 360-degree views over Pest and Castle Hill.
