In the heart of Europe the Hungarian tribal state could have never written the history it has written. The first king acknowledged by the Pope and the Vatican – Saint Steven I understood the importance of religion to guide a nation. To strengthen his position and lead the nomadic Hungarian nation towards christianity he turned to Pope Silvester II to legitimize his reign. This happened with non-else than a crown.

The history and development of Budapest and Hungary has been greatly influenced by the Roman Catholic Church from the very first moment – granting Budapest numerous spiritual, architectural and cultural wonders. Churches, monasteries, convents, sanctuaries formed the face of Budapest – in all aspects throughout the centuries, providing the most miraculous sights of XI.century history.
