Review:
Esztergomi Bazilika is the popularly used name for the Cathedral and Primatial Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary Assumed into Heaven and St. Adalbert. The ecclesiastic basilica is the seat of the Catholic Church in Hungary and the mother church of the Archdiocese of Esztergom - Budapest.
Other than being the largest church in Hungary, it is also the tallest building, towering over 100 meters high. Visitors will come across some stunning pieces of art, including the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Girolamo Michelangelo Grigoletti on the altarpiece; the piece is the largest painting in the world on a single piece of canvas. Other amazing aspects of the basilica include the Old Egyptian-style crypt and many Tuscan Renaissance motifs.
