🏰 Esztergom was the old capital of Hungary from the 10th till the mid-13th century when King Béla IV moved the royal seat to Buda. The 1st Hungarian King, St. Stephen was also crowned here in 1000 AD.

Now, the city lies on the border of Slovakia, along the river Danube. The most monumental construction of Hungarian Classicism, the Basilica, silently rules the landscape above the winding Danube, surrounded by mountains. On the opposite side of the river lies Párkány, a little town providing excellent views of the Basilica from the Slovakian side.
