Esztergom and the beatiful Cathedral (Esztergom)
From the direction Budapest further 20 km north from Visegrad and the traveller comes to Esztergom, former royal town. Each year this more than 1000-year-old settlement (founded 973) – the first capital of the country, site for the baptism into the Christian Church of our first king, where the pagan rebel Koppany was cruelly executed and his quartered remains hung on the city walls, seat of kings and archbishops for centuries – attracts around 1 million visitors.

Today the castle is a museum, and its reconstructed grand hall the location for scientific conferences and conventions.
The most decorative part of the castle in Esztergom is the frescoed Royal Chapel. Hungary’s largest church, the Basilica, stands atop Castle Hill. Its red marble chapel, built on the commission of Archbishop of Esztergom Tamas Bakócz, is ranked as one of the finest works of art to have survived in Hungary from the Renaissance.The Cathedral Treasury in Esztergom with its remarkable collection of ecclesiastical masterworks always attracts crowds. There is a statue of St. Stephen not far away, and the recently rebuilt Maria Valeria Bridge also contributes to the delightful view of the surroundings. The Christian Museum in the Primate’s Palace has a valuable collection of medieval Italian paintings, gobelins, faience and porcelains.

Esztergom and its surroundings, Friend
The stretch of the Danube Bend between Esztergom and Visegrad is one of the prettiest in the country. It took thousands of years for the river to forge its way through the volcanic hills, today known as Visegrad Hill and Borzsony Mountain, forming an S-shaped valley as it did so. more »
