The cathedral is a basilica with three naves. In the middle between the nave and chancel to the east is the transept. The dome of the cathedral, 40 meters above ground, is lavishly decorated. At the rear are the two bell towers. The portal on the eastern porch is designed like a Greek temple. The monumental entrance is decorated with statues of saints: St. Stephen, St. Ladislaus, and Saints Peter and Paul. The facade is supported by Corinthian columns that reach a height of 17 meters.

The basilica itself is really dull both inside and out. The lights are turned off while there is no mass, and the little natural light is barely enough to see the details on the architecture. They also failed to mention on their website in an eye catching manner that currently it's under renovation and huge sections are completely closed off. Also the opening times are incorrect.
A gorgeous must-see if you are going to spend some time in Eger. Also be sure to take a tour of the wine cellars beneath for some interesting history.
Beautiful historical basilica. The dome and ceilings are very beautifully painted. Well maintained. I've been to many well known cathedrals and I still think this is pretty impressive - maybe it's just because I still haven't figured out how these master painters paint the domes and ceilings with such perfection...
Beautiful big cathedral in the centre of the city. And it is free.
Beautiful place, nicely preserved. As long as you're in Eger you should visit it.
Interesting cathedral with special event shows.
Very beautiful. Worth visiting. Majestic
