Szombathely Cathedral

Berzsenyi Daniel tér is the center of Szombathely as it was in Roman times. The forum of Savaria probably stood where the cathedral now stands. The cathedral, bishop's palace, former priests' seminary and Eölbey House - all works by Melchior Hefele - together with the square form an ensemble where the influence of Bishop Szily is still apparent (his monument stands in front of the cathedral). The rather uninspiring façade of the cathedral, which Hefele worked on from 1791 until his death in 1797 dominates the square; the building was completed in 1814. The tower roofs were later additions.
