Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary


We found this gem of a church down by the Danube near the Elizabeth Bridge. A church has been on this site since the 1000's. It was originlly built by St. Istvan, the first king of Hungary. In the 14th century it was rebuilt. The Turks used it for a mosque. It has been repeatedly burned and restored. The current restoration has produced a beautiful building.
