Neighborhood: Gellért Hill
If you want to treat your camera to some amazing scenery, Gellért Hill is a must on your itinerary. A funicular journey from the Chain Bridge along the hillsides provides a fast connection between Buda and Pest, hoisting visitors to panoramic vistas. Once on top of the hill, you’ll find the Citadel dominate the landscape with its imposing 19th century construction, a site that’s hard to keep your eyes on without being distracted by the phenomenal view over the Danube and the eight bridges crossing. Once on Gellért Hill however, one mustn’t miss the famous Gellért Baths. Budapest is renown for its thermal waters and its baths, and the Gellért Baths are housed in an impressive art nouveau structure. Its interior design, with its many mosaics, recalls the preceding relationships the city has had with healing springs and saunas, traditionally used within this neighborhood since the Ottoman Empire.

I really like this statue of St Stephen, 1st King of Hungary as it is naively carved unlike a lot of the cities statue. I believe its this quality that really drew me to liking it so much. It sits outside St Gellert's cave overlooking the Liberty (Elizabeth) Bridge.
The Saint / King is holding what looks like a church in hands and he looks very protective over it. A great statue well worth a look when in the area.

King Stefan, becoming a saint, christened the tribes of Huns who settled in 896 in the Pannonian Plain. The location of the statue at the base of the Gellert Hill has logic because the hill was named after the name of the priest who helped Stefan to christen the Hungarians. One picture, two are enough and then continue the journey.

Pretty nice statue. You are lucky if you can get a photo of it, because it's very crowded and full of people trying to rip your money off.

This impressive stone statue of King Saint Stephen appears to me to show him in a medieval style standing in front of his horse holding a model of a church. The saddle on the horse and St Stephen's clothing are richly decorated.
The statue is located near the bottom of Gellert Hill not far from the entrance to the Rock Church and near to the Liberty Bridge.
Worth a look if you are visiting the Rock Church.
