Matthias Church, Budapest

I've had a friend staying with me from France, the great side of my job, apart from the travel is making new friends all over the world. So I took her on a walking tour of the city, we cover 12km and last night before we went to dinner she couldn't move lol, this is a sign I covered most of the highlights.
It was 36 degrees here yesterday without a cloud in the sky, so we had plenty of ice cream breaks :-). I left the SLR at home and took out a small Canon SX220HS I've bought to travel with when I have no space for my Canon SLR, I'm not sure about the results yet I've got to practice with it a bit more. But the church and sky came out nice.
The church was restored to its original 13th century plan but a number of early original Gothic elements were uncovered. By also adding new motifs of his own (such as the diamond pattern roof tiles and gargoyles laden spire) Schulek ensured that the work, when finished, would be highly controversial.
It is home to the Ecclesiastical Art museum which begins in the medieval crypt and leads up to the St. Stephen Chapel. The gallery contains a number of sacred relics and medieval stone carvings, along with replicas of the Hungarian royal crown and coronation jewels.
