St Stephens Cathedral

If I come out of Hungary knowing nothing else, it will be this St Stephen dude. Basically he was the king of Hungary and went around converting everyone to catholisicm. Thus he formally became 'Stephen', having originally been known by a hungarian name, on Christmas Day 1000AD. Later he would become a St and naturally time to build a church for the guy.

It is in the Romanesque style which I am beginning to loath (kinda like 'I am engineer, watch me build ... '). However from a design point of view at this angle, I did like the way the building steps down and is 'layered'.



This was an interior shot that I kinda liked



An interior shot looking up to the dome. As always, ridicilous decoration and attention to detail which kinda reads to my eye as 'overkill'
