One of the architectural wonders of this city is ST Stephen's cathedral. This was first dedicated to the saints Peter and Paul but was later changed. It was built in 1470 but today looks like an 18th century style boraque church. Johannes Cymbal painted the frescoes on the ceiling in 1768 and there is a wooden crucifix on the northern wall of the cathedral that was built in memory of the people who died in the uprising of 1956.
The Bishop's Palace is a very prominent building in the city and was built by using the rubble from the royal burial chapels and the medieval basilica. A pharmacy that was put in place by the Jesuits in the year 1758 named the Black Eagle has rococo furnishing and can be found north of the town centre. |
