The city obelisk, St. Istvan Cathedral Diak Square has a small obelisk, behind the famous St. Stephen's Cathedral, and for the entire city of Budapest, with Congress The St. Stephen's Church at the same height of the building is also like an obelisk, forming the most eye-catching part of the city skyline. This is the only church we have in Budapest, so it looks extraordinarily serious. Although the churches in Europe seem to be similar, even the kind of glory is familiar, such as domes, murals, altars, and the organ behind them. But each church has its own soul. The biggest attraction of the church is not only the magnificent interior of the Neo-Renaissance style, but the right hand remains of the King of St. Estevan in the church. 1038 King St. Estevan died. His relatives took the right hand that symbolized the supremacy of the kingship and were preserved by the Hungarians as holy objects. The right hand of the Saint was stolen several times and recovered from Vienna after World War II. The saints are now stored in a secret room in the church of Istvan, for worshippers and tourists. The offering of the sacred hand adds a mysterious color to the church, and it is also a powerful appeal that attracts believers and curious visitors. The church is free to enter, there is a donation box at the entrance, the person can voluntarily donate 200 HUF; the elevator can reach the top of the church tower (additional 500 HUF), and 360 degrees from a height overlooking Budapest However, the angles of the photos taken by the predecessors are average, and we have not gone up.
