ESZTERGOM<br />
Grand Prince Géza chose Esztergom as his kingdom in 972, making it the first capital of our<br />
country. King Saint Stephen was crowned here on 1 January 1001; he founded the archdiocese<br />
of Esztergom as the centre of the Hungarian church. The Basilica of Esztergom, the largest church<br />
in Hungary, was built on the castle hill. This masterpiece was consecrated in 1869, and for that occasion<br />
Franz Liszt composed his Esztergom Mass.<br />
