    Beautiful square with a cross and statue of St. Stephen

    The church is located inside of a cave. The entrance fee includes an audioguide provided in several languages. Although the tour of the church doesn't take long, it's definitely worth visiting. The interior is primarily rock, making it quite impressive. Interestingly, the church isn't old; it was built only about a hundred years ago. What's particularly fascinating is that it's heated by thermal springs under the rock, so the temperature stays at around 20°C naturally all year round. One part of the church is a natural cave, while another part is man-made. In the 1950s, during the communist regime's fight against religion, the monks were ousted from the church, the cross was toppled, and the entrance was blocked with a thick concrete wall. After the regime fell in the late 1980s, the monks returned to the church. The remnants of the wall are still visible at the entrance.

    (Translated by Google) Placed on a terrace at the base of Mount Gellert, this stone group recalls the king, made a saint, Stephen I of Hungary, one of the most loved and most felt kings in the country. The contrast with the Ponte della Libertà that stands out in the background with its bright green metal structure is fascinating. I recommend traveling along Monte Gellert starting from the top, easily reachable by bus, line 27, and then going down without any effort to the Danube, passing through this panoramic terrace. @ gargio76 (Original) Posto su una terrazza alla base del Monte Gellert, questo groppo lapideo ricorda il Re, fatto santo, Stefano I d'Ungheria, uno dei re più amati e sentiti nel Paese. Affascinante il contrasto con il Ponte della Libertà che si staglia sullo sfondo, con la sua struttura metallica verde acceso. Consiglio di percorrere il Monte Gellert partendo dall'alto, comodamente raggiungibile col bus, linea 27, per poi scendere senza alcun sforzo sino al Danubio, passando, appunto, per questa terrazza panoramica. @gargio76

    View is great from here. "King Saint Stephen was the last Grand Prince of the Hungarians between 997 and 1000 (or 1001), and the first King of Hungary from 1000 (or 1001), until his death in 1038."

    It's a lovely walk up the hill and there are always beautiful views of the city from there. The park also offers enough seating to take a short break.

    Statue of King - Saint Stephen over looking the Liberty bridge from the Buda side. Budapest was one of my favorite cities on this trip. When I travel, I love walking around to really get the feel of a place. On this day, I walked 13 miles from the inner city on the Pest side, across the Liberty bridge, hiked up the Gellert Hill, up to the Buda Castle, then up to the Fisherman Bastion and cross over to Hungarian Parliament on the Pest side. Then I jumped on a train heading to who knows where just because I needed to rest my feet but didn’t want to stop exploring. 7/11/19

    Beautiful view point

  • 5/5 Shamil H. 3 years ago on Google
    It is small, should be very huge and enermous for such the king and saint. Nevertheless, it has a great location for taking pictures of the Liberty Bridge and Danube River, or taking selfies. Additionally, the nearby square seems wonderful from the statue, especially tramways. Love it.
