located in Komárom-Esztergom country, on the opposite bank of the Danube, which marks the county’s boundary with Slovakia. From the 10th century until the mid-13th century, when King Béla IV of Hungary relocated the royal seat to Buda, Esztergom was the center of Hungary. Esztergom is the former seat of Hungary’s Constitutional Court and the seat of the prmás (see Primate) of the Roman Catholic Church. The city includes a Christian Museum that houses Hungary’s greatest ecclesiastical collection. Esztergom Basilica, its cathedral, is the biggest church in Hungary.

The discovery and repair of the ruins of the rpád era palace were one of the most significant events of the 1930s. It once more placed Esztergom in the spotlight. Following WWII, Esztergom was left as one of the most badly damaged towns. However, rehabilitation gradually erased the signs of the war, with two of Esztergom’s most important traits acquiring significance: because of its location, it was the area’s cultural hub (It educated almost 8,000 students at primary, secondary, and college levels). However, as a result of local industrial growth, it has become an important foundation for the Hungarian equipment and materials sector. This city, with its stunning surroundings and countless memorials, a testament to Hungarian history’s hardships, is appreciated primarily by visitors interested in the past and art. However, the town appears to be regaining its political position in the country, and its structures and traditions are reviving.
