What a view! Starting with the Danube, which flows under the Mária Valéria Bridge that connects Esztergom, Hungary and Sturovo, Slovakia. Then there is the city of Esztergom itself and Castle Hill. This was the Prince Géza’s headquarters from 972. He also had a castle built here, where his son was born, who would later become St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary. This is a particularly important fact because without King St. Stephen I wouldn't exist either, because Hungary became a Christian country after his baptism. What does all this have to do with me? The fact that I am the most beautiful sight in Esztergom and also the largest church building in Hungary, the Esztergom Basilica. Like all basilicas, I also offer the Roman Catholic faithful a place in which to pray. My dome, which almost literally crowns my building, is 100 meters high, was built in the ancient Egyptian and classicist style. In addition, I boast some Renaissance influences because I contain the only fully preserved Renaissance building in Hungary, the Bakócz Chapel. Oh, and I almost forgot, Esztergom got me because the Archbishop of Esztergom is the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Hungary. This is a serious position, for example there was an archbishop of Esztergom named Tamás Bakócz, who in 1513 even competed for the title of Pope – although in the end he was not chosen. But how impolite I am, only talking about myself, even though Esztergom has many other interesting things. For example, it was part of the defence line built by the Romans, which they called the limes. As I said, Prince Géza later built a castle here, which has not survived, but a castle can still be seen today. The King is no longer there, but there is a museum where you can learn everything about the history of the city.
