Matthias Church, formally the Church of the Assumption of Buda Castle, stands on Holy Trinity Square in the Castle District beside the Fisherman's Bastion. The Gothic church was rebuilt by Frigyes Schulek between 1874 and 1896, who added the patterned tiled roof and the painted interior; it is still a working parish church.
St. Stephen's Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in Pest named after Stephen, the first king of Hungary, whose mummified right hand is kept inside as a relic. Built from 1851 to 1905 by József Hild, Miklós Ybl and József Kauser, it has a neo-Renaissance interior, a treasury and a panorama terrace around the dome.
The Dohány Street Synagogue is the largest synagogue in Europe, built from 1854 to 1859 in the Moorish Revival style to plans by Ludwig Förster and still used by the Neolog congregation. The complex also holds the Hungarian Jewish Museum, the Heroes' Temple, a cemetery and a Holocaust memorial garden with a metal weeping willow.
The Gellért Hill Cave holds the Cave Church, a chapel and Pauline monastery built into a natural cave above the Danube and consecrated in 1926. The communist authorities sealed it with a concrete wall in 1951; it reopened in 1989. Visitors enter through the cave mouth and tour the chapels with an audio guide.
