St. Stephen’s Basilica is a minor basilica co-cathedral built in the Renaissance Revival style in Budapest District V, in an area called Lipótváros. It is one of Hungary’s most important ecclesiastical buildings and is the co-cathedral for the Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest together with the Esztergom Basilica. The building was named after St. Stephen, Hungary’s king who founded the Hungarian state. His right hand, called the Holy Right, has been preserved intact and is kept in the Basilica as a relic.
