St Stephen's Basilica and Other Sight Seeing

St Stephen's Basilica.


Front of the Basilica.


"I am the way, the truth, and the life." Yes I do remember something from Latin.


Me jumping in front of the Basilica.

Everyone disappointed when we thought the basilica was closed. It actually was open, the boys just read the sign wrong so we did get to go inside.


The dome in the middle of the Basilica that collapsed during construction in 1867.



Next we went to Parliament. Unfortunately it was closed on Saturdays so we couldn't go inside. This was the coldest day that it had been the entire trip, around 15 degrees. Now it is 2 weeks later and 60 degrees?!

Some protesters outside of Parliament. I don't think there were that many because it was the coldest day that it had been the entire trip, around 15 degrees. Now it is 2 weeks later (Feb 27) and 60 degrees?!Front of Parliament.

The House of Terror was the last stop of the day. This is a building on the main road leading to Hero's Square. It was a main building for the Nazis in 1944-45 and then the communists until 1989. Now it is a museum that goes through the history of Nazi and communist occupation in Hungary.
