The main altarpiece painting, Szent István felajánlja a koronát Szűz Máriának (Saint Stephen Offers His Crown to the Virgin Mary), was executed by Gyula Benczúr in 1901. It depicts King Stephen I, on his deathbed, consecrating his kingdom to the protection of the Virgin Mary, declaring her the Patrona Hungariae (Patroness of Hungary). It is flanked by white marble sculptures of Szent Erzsébet (Saint Elizabeth of Hungary) on the left; and Szent Margit (Saint Margaret of Hungary) on the right.<br /> <br /> Szent István bazilika (Saint Stephen's Basilica) is an ecclesiastic basilica and co-cathdedral named after the first King of Hungaryand housing his mummified right hand., was built between 1851 and 1905 1905. The first Neoclassical plans for the structure were drafted by József Hild. Upon Hild's death in 1867, Miklós Ybl took over construction, modifying the design to a more neo-Renaissance style. Ornamental elements and the interior were completed by József Kauser. Standing at 96 meters tall—equal in height to the Hungarian Parliament Building—it is the largest church in the city and a focal point of its UNESCO World Heritage buffer zone.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/nargulmar/">Shadow Dreams</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nargulmar/55262099140/" title="The first day in a new democracy"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55262099140_1ca808a999_m.jpg" width="240" height="139" alt="The first day in a new democracy" /></a></p> <p>2026. 05. 09.
