"Blagovestenska Church in Szentendre" Top 5 Page for this destination Hungary Off The Beaten Path Tip by Paul2001

The Blagovestenska Church in Szentendre's central square is probably the most visited of that towns many churches. It was built in the High Baroque style in 1754. This gives the church a western look not unlike any other that you might find in the region around Budapest but one you walk inside it is like you entered Greece. This is because of all the Orthodox Church iconostasis, related furnishings and incense. The church is usually packed with visitors who seem to trample through by the busload. Sadly this will interfer with your attempt to examine the religious icons inside which are quite interesting. It costs 200Ft to visit the interior of the Blagovestenska Church which is open daily during the tourist season.
