ESZTERGOM<br />

Grand Prince Géza chose Esztergom as his kingdom in 972, making it the first capital of our country. King Saint Stephen was<br />

crowned here on 1 January 1001; he founded the archdiocese of Esztergom as the centre of the Hungarian church. The Basilica<br />

of Esztergom, the largest church in Hungary, was built on the castle hill. This masterpiece was consecrated in 1869, and for that<br />

occasion Franz Liszt composed his Esztergom Mass.<br />
