St. stephen's Basilica is a lovely church, with a dome surrounded by complex statues. We entered the church and I was overwhelmed by the intricacy and luxury of the ornamentation. Pillars topped with gold, 12 candle candleabra along with paintiings, mosaics, friezes, stained glass and sculpture. In a side room, we saw the hand of st. stephen ensconced in its ornate shrine. We then climbed the many stairs to the top of the church where we emerged outside the dome just as the sun was setting. We were able to enjoy fantastic views of the city as the sun gilded the spires and domes across the skyscape.
