The capital of Hungary, the enigmatic city of Budapest, is the true jewel of Eastern Europe. They were formerly two separate cities, Buda and Pest, which faced both banks of the Danube River, until they merged into the magnificent city of 1873. Because of its location and its wealth, the city was the scene of numerous settlements, invasions and conflicts. It was crossed by a lot of cultures, from the Celts to the Mongols, and the Ottomans. The city hosts more tourists every year than permanent residents due its varied architectural beauties, culture, landscapes, and extensive historical heritage.
One of the most visited historical buildings by visitors is the splendid St. Stephen's Basilica. Its name is owed to the first king of Hungary, who lived between 975 and 1038 AC. The legend says that the right hand of the monarch lies in the reliquary of the basilica.
After half a century under construction, the 96-meter high building was completed in 1905. The original plans correspond to the architect Miklós Ybl, who conceived it in a neoclassical style, based on a plant in the shape of a Greek cross. From the top of its towers you can appreciate a magnificent view of the city of Budapest. Rent an apartment near St. Stephen's Basilica, and enjoy the melodic sound of its historic bells.
