St Martin’s Cathedral & the Old Town

~630 m 8–10 min downhill on foot

Straight down the hill from the castle gate. Eleven kings and eight queens of Hungary were crowned in this Gothic cathedral between 1563 and 1830, and a gilded replica of the Hungarian crown still sits on its 85 m tower. Where the castle is a modern rebuild, this is the genuine medieval article. Note that visits are not possible during Mass.
