Introducing Esztergom
Esztergom, 25km west of Visegrád and 66km from Budapest via Rte 11, is one of Hungary's most historical cities and, as the effective 'capital' of the Danube Bend, well worth a visit. For more than 1000 years it has been the seat of Roman Catholicism; the archbishop of Esztergom is the primate - the highest ranking cleric - of Hungary. The country's first king, St Stephen, was born here in 975, and it was a royal seat from the late 10th to the mid-13th centuries. As a result, Esztergom has both great spiritual and temporal significance for Hungarians.
