Church of the Holy Spirit in Hévíz

Hévíz is one of the outstanding tourist destinations in Hungary. Here is the world’s second-largest thermal lake. For this reason, Hévíz is a real tourist paradise and spa town, which is the reason why European Destinations of Excellence ranked Hévíz the 12th best place to visit. However, it is worth visiting not only because of the lake but also because of the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit. The building was designed by János Bocskai and completed with the support of the city and its citizens. The exterior of the church is characterised by the seven towers, which symbolise the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. The interior of the church combines modern and traditional architecture.

Dome of Szeged

Officially known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Hungary, this Neo-Romanesque building is one of the most iconic buildings of Szeged. The Dome’s towers are 81 metres high, making the dome the 5th tallest church in Hungary. The building, which can accommodate 5,000 people, is 80.8 metres long and 51 metres wide. It was made between 1913 and 1930, according to the plans of Frigyes Schulek, the creator of the Buda Fisherman’s Bastion, and Ernő Foerk. It is the only cathedral in Hungary built in the 20th century. The largest tower clock in Hungary is also located in the Dome of Szeged.
