Komárom-Esztergom County
Esztergom
Esztergom compresses a millennium of Hungarian state and church history into one Danube hillside. Move from royal beginnings and the country’s largest church to Ottoman remains, a bridge repeatedly broken by politics, water engineering and the difficult memory of 1956.
