[🇭🇺Budapest] St. Stephen's Basilica — Gorgeous interior and sacred space

St. Stephen's Basilica stands tall in the heart of Budapest. Its magnificent exterior is a sight to behold, but once you step inside, you'll be amazed by the breathtaking beauty. This space, where luxurious decorations and a solemn atmosphere come together, will make you feel as if you are inside a work of art. Golden ceiling and majestic dome The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the cathedral is the golden ceiling and magnificent dome. The entire ceiling is decorated with delicate mosaics and frescoes, and is decorated like a work of art. In particular, the central dome features a magnificent ceiling painting depicting Christ, and you will be overwhelmed by its scale and intricate details. Fusion of marble and mosaic The interior walls and columns are lavishly made of red and white marble, creating a luxurious yet calm atmosphere. In addition, beautiful mosaics are applied to the details, and the golden light reflects off them, giving off a mysterious glow. This exquisite balance gives the entire cathedral elegance. Don't miss the right hand of St. Stephen Inside the cathedral, the right hand of St. Stephen, the founding king of Hungary, is enshrined. This relic, which has been preserved even after his death, is placed in a special display case and inspires deep respect in visitors. Stained glass with soft light The windows of the cathedral are fitted with colorful stained glass. If you visit during the day, natural light pours in and the interior is enveloped in a fantastic atmosphere. The mysterious space created by light and shadow is a special moment that quietly calms the mind. The sound of the pipe organ A large pipe organ is installed at the back of the cathedral, and majestic tones reverberate during mass and special concerts. The way the music reflects off the marble walls and spreads is a truly spectacular experience. If you have the opportunity to listen to an organ performance, be sure to surrender yourself to the sound. A sacred space where you can spend time in peace and tranquility The interior of St. Stephen's Basilica is not just a tourist spot, but a sacred place where many people still pray. The gorgeous decorations are eye-catching, but the space is also calming. Even if you just sit quietly and look up at the ceiling, you will surely feel the special charm of this place.
