Look up at 4 Koronázó Square—you won't regret it! On the pediment of this late 19th-century building, a relief depicts 'Saint Stephen Offering the Crown to Mary,' accompanied by the coronation regalia.

The pediment originally featured a semicircular top adorned with the figure of the Virgin Mary. The building's pediment was likely damaged, and during subsequent restoration, it was not restored to its original form. As a result of this damage, only a portion of the old relief survived, depicting Saint Stephen as he offers the crown. To his right, the coat of arms also remained intact, but the figure of Mary is no longer visible. According to historical tradition, on August 14, 1038—the day before his death—King Saint Stephen offered Hungary to the Virgin Mary in the form of the Holy Crown. This marked the beginning of the historical process that transformed the Hungarian coronation jewel into the symbol of Hungarian statehood.
