<p>🇫🇷 Située sur la place Szent István tér, la basilique Saint-Étienne de Pest occupe une position centrale dans le paysage urbain de Budapest. Sa construction initiale dans le style neo-classique, achevée en 1905 après plus de cinquante ans de travaux, témoigne de l’ambition architecturale de la Hongrie à la fin du XIXe siècle. Avec ses 8 500 places, elle demeure la plus grande église de la capitale hongroise.Dédiée à saint Étienne Ier, roi fondateur du royaume de Hongrie au XIe siècle, elle symbolise la christianisation du pays et l’établissement de l’État hongrois.La qualité acoustique exceptionnelle de la nef attire notamment les mélomanes venus assister aux concerts d’orgue et de musique classique.Nous avons pu assister à l'un de ces concerts ....et les photos ont été prises à la fin du concert , en nocturne soit lors de la visite en journée.<br />
<br />
* Le centre de la façade comprend le porche d’entrée surmonté d’un fronton triangulaire prolongé par le narthex au- dessus duquel se situe la tribune de l’orgue. La façade est entourée de deux tours à trois niveaux carrés surmontés de lanternons.<br />

🇬🇧 Situated on Szent István tér, St Stephen’s Basilica in Pest occupies a central position in Budapest’s cityscape.Its original construction in the Neoclassical style, completed in 1905 after more than fifty years of work, bears witness to Hungary’s architectural ambition at the end of the 19th century. With a capacity of 8,500, it remains the largest church in the Hungarian capital. Dedicated to Saint Stephen I, the founding king of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 11th century, it symbolises the Christianisation of the country and the establishment of the Hungarian state. The nave’s exceptional acoustics attract music lovers in particular, who come to attend organ and classical music concerts. We were able to attend one of these concerts… and the photos were taken at the end of the concert, at night, or during the daytime visit.<br />
<br />
* The centre of the façade features the entrance porch, surmounted by a triangular pediment and extended by the narthex, above which stands the organ loft. The façade is flanked by two three-storey square towers topped with lanterns.<br />

🇩🇪 Die St.-Stephans-Basilika in Pest liegt am Szent István tér und nimmt eine zentrale Stellung im Stadtbild von Budapest ein. Der ursprüngliche Bau im neoklassizistischen Stil, der 1905 nach mehr als fünfzigjähriger Bauzeit fertiggestellt wurde, zeugt von den architektonischen Ambitionen Ungarns am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts.. Mit ihren 8.500 Plätzen ist sie nach wie vor die größte Kirche der ungarischen Hauptstadt. Sie ist dem Heiligen Stephan I., dem Gründerkönig des Königreichs Ungarn im 11. Jahrhundert, geweiht und symbolisiert die Christianisierung des Landes sowie die Gründung des ungarischen Staates. Die außergewöhnliche Akustik des Kirchenschiffs zieht insbesondere Musikliebhaber an, die die Orgel- und Klassikkonzerte besuchen. Wir hatten die Gelegenheit, eines dieser Konzerte zu besuchen … und die Fotos wurden am Ende des Konzerts, bei Nacht oder während der Besichtigung am Tag aufgenommen.<br />
<br />
* Im Zentrum der Fassade befindet sich das Eingangsportal, das von einem dreieckigen Giebel gekrönt wird, der sich bis zum Narthex erstreckt, über dem sich die Orgelempore befindet. Die Fassade wird von zwei vierstöckigen, quadratischen Türmen flankiert, die mit Laternen gekrönt sind.<br />

🇪🇸 Situada en la plaza Szent István tér, la basílica de San Esteban de Pest ocupa un lugar central en el paisaje urbano de Budapest. Su construcción inicial, de estilo neoclásico, finalizada en 1905 tras más de cincuenta años de obras, es testimonio de la ambición arquitectónica de Hungría a finales del siglo XIX.. Con sus 8.500 plazas, sigue siendo la iglesia más grande de la capital húngara. Dedicada a San Esteban I, rey fundador del reino de Hungría en el siglo XI, simboliza la cristianización del país y el establecimiento del Estado húngaro. La excepcional calidad acústica de la nave atrae especialmente a los melómanos que acuden a asistir a los conciertos de órgano y de música clásica. Pudimos asistir a uno de esos conciertos... y las fotos se tomaron al final del concierto, por la noche o durante la visita diurna.<br />
<br />
* En el centro de la fachada se encuentra el pórtico de entrada, coronado por un frontón triangular que se prolonga hasta el nártex, sobre el cual se sitúa la tribuna del órgano. La fachada está flanqueada por dos torres cuadradas de tres niveles, coronadas por linternones..<br />

🇮🇹 Situata in piazza Szent István tér, la basilica di Santo Stefano di Pest occupa una posizione centrale nel panorama urbano di Budapest. La sua costruzione originaria in stile neoclassico, completata nel 1905 dopo oltre cinquant’anni di lavori, testimonia l’ambizione architettonica dell’Ungheria alla fine del XIX secolo. Con i suoi 8.500 posti a sedere, rimane la chiesa più grande della capitale ungherese. Dedicata a Santo Stefano I, re fondatore del regno d’Ungheria nell’XI secolo, simboleggia la cristianizzazione del paese e la fondazione dello Stato ungherese. L’eccezionale qualità acustica della navata attira in particolare gli amanti della musica che vengono ad assistere ai concerti d’organo e di musica classica. Abbiamo avuto modo di assistere a uno di questi concerti... e le foto sono state scattate alla fine del concerto, di notte o durante la visita diurna.<br />
<br />
* Al centro della facciata si trova il portico d’ingresso, sormontato da un frontone triangolare che si prolunga nel nartece, sopra il quale è situata la tribuna dell’organo. La facciata è affiancata da due torri a tre livelli di pianta quadrata, sormontate da lanterne.</p>
