Dear friends, community, and traveler greetings. I have never seen a church as stunning as this one before. I have visited many churches in Norway, but they have their own architectural style, and most stave churches are made of wood.
After walking around the Buda castle we moved in the direction of Mattias Church we took the north side and passed through some restaurants and shops. Today we enter from the other side which is a main road and a busy street Tourists, locals, traffic, and business
while walking, we can notice many souvenir shops, some statues, and even the labyrinth where Dracula was once imprisoned
While traveling in my own country, I understand the language and have learned some history. However, in unfamiliar places, it can be challenging to uncover the historical significance behind a building or location. This often requires me to seek out information, and recently, I have been researching the history of Matthias Church in Budapest to find details about this beautiful structure. Yet, much of what I find online is very complicated to understand.
To be honest, I don't know much about Christianity or the Catholic religion. I’m not familiar with the stories of the churches or how many branches there are, but I respect them, and I appreciate the art and culture surrounding them. When I travel to new places with different cultures, I tend to view these locations from an artistic perspective rather than focusing on history that doesn't connect with my own life.

Szabad Hazaert the leader of freedom fighters. His statue is
a tribute to the Hungarian freedom fighters who fought in the war of independence against Austria. At the base of the statue, is a wreath with a ribbon engraved with the words “Freedom or Death”.

The Mattias church looked very beautiful and shiny in the midday sun the last time we were there in the afternoon. Today we wanted to explore the inner part of Mattias Church and climb the church tower.
