19 Statue Outside Esztergom Basilica or Primatial Basilica in Esztergom, Hungary

You are awed by the size of Hungary’s largest church in Esztergom which stands 328 feet with eight, 72 foot Corinthian columns supporting the portico. Its formal name is Primatial Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary Assumed into Heaven and St. Adalbert. Before entering, there are statues in alcoves, including this one. I assume he is Stephen I, who was born in Esztergom, became the first King of Hungary in 1000 AD, built the first cathedral on this Castle Hill site in 1010, and was canonized in 1083.
