Om
Hurtige fakta: Dets mure har været vidne til mere end tusind års historie, fra indvielsen i 1039 til genopbygningerne efter de osmanniske invasioner. Indenfor gemmer det på Ungarns ældste krypt med søjler og kapitæler fra det 11. århundrede, som få europæiske bygninger har bevaret.
Højdepunkter: I krypten bærer fire originale stenpiller fra år 1000 vægten af ti århundreder på deres kapitæler, der er udskåret med geometriske figurer. Akustikken er overvældende: når organisten øver ved middagstid, løber orglets toner gennem skibet, som om bygningen selv sang.
Insidertips
- Avoid the guided group tours at noon; early on Fridays there is hardly anyone.
- Bring a small flashlight to appreciate the reliefs in the crypt, where the lighting is dim.
- If the bells ring at twelve o'clock, stay still under the west porch: the echo bounces off the four towers.
- The combined ticket with the chapter treasury and the church history museum costs only 1000 HUF extra and is worth it.
