Gellért-hegyi sziklatemplom


On the Buda side of the Danube stands a rocky outcrop and within it a large cave that is a Catholic Church.  It was established by the Pauline Order, a Hungarian monk hermit order that still exists today.

In front of the church is a statue of St. Stephen, the first King of Hungary and the one who brought Christianity to the country. In the background is the Liberty bridge, Szabadság Híd. More on that tomorrow.
