When: May 2014
You are looking at the sun setting on St. Stephen's Basilica, one of the two tallest buildings in Budapest. The other is the Hungarian Parliament, which like this church is 96 meters at its tallest point. This is not a coincidence -- law dictates that no other buildings in Budapest can be taller, and the buildings' matching heights is meant to show equal importance between the spiritual and lawmaking world. St. Stephen's features, among other things, a bell that weighs roughly 10 tons, 242 sculptures, and the mummified right hand of St. Stephen.
