Mátyás-templom
Fifteenth-century King Matthias was married twice in the Mátyás-templom (Matthias Church), which had already been in existence
for two centuries. It later served the Turks as a mosque, and was subsequently remodeled in the 19th century in striking neo-Gothic
style. Medieval touches have been reproduced in the interior, along with dramatic features such as the soaring 262-foot spire.
The tombs of 12th-century monarch Béla III and his wife, Anne of Châtillon, are in the Trinity Chapel near the main door.
