Its 96-metre-high dome affords a view over virtually the entire city. Building started in 1851, and then in 1867 the work was taken over by Miklós Ybl, the greatest architect of the day, and finally concluded in 1905 by József Kauser. The neo-Classical building holds the greatest reliquary of the Hungarian people: the mummified arm, the Holy Right, of King St. Stephen, after whom the basilica is named.
