#ststephen’s Basilica is the largest $church in #budapest and can hold up to 8,500 people. It took more than 50 years to build the Basilica. Building commenced in 1851, and the inauguration ceremony took place in 1906. The dome is 96 meters high, the exact same height as the Budapest Parliament Building. In fact current building regulations stipulate that no other structure in Budapest can be taller than 96 meters. Having the same height as the Parliament also symbolizes the balance between church and state in #Hungary. #inspiration #church #happynewyear
