Detail of the Matthias Church
The Matthias Church is one of the finest churches in Budapest. Located atop the Buda Castle hill, it has been serving the citizens of the Buda Castle Hill since 1015. The actual church (restored early 19th century) has a breath-taking interior with colours inspired by orientalism and romantic historicism. Its mystically exotic atmosphere paired with its Neo-Gothic features differentiates it from any other church. #Budapest

Trivia: According to the story, sculptor Marschalko János forgot to carve out the lions' tongues. A boy noticed this during the opening ceremony. The sculptor became so distressed that he jumped off the bridge into the Danube.'
