The statue of Stephen I, also known as King Saint Stephen who was the first King of Hungary from 1000 or 1001, until his death in 1038 riding on a horse is a must see while visiting Budapest. Stephen was the first member of his family to become a devout Christian. He was crowned on 25 December 1000 or 1 January 1001 with a crown sent by Pope Sylvester II. This magnificent statue by the Matthew Church deserves a visit to admire its elaborate details. The view of the City of Budapest and the Danube River from the surrounding of the statue is fantastic.
