Royal wrath resulting from the dejeweling has yet to be felt, so make sure to speak only words of admiration in Matthias Church, especially while viewing the replica of the Hungarian crown upstairs in the church’s Museum of Ecclesiastical Art. You don’t want to be in good favor with the spirit of Hungarian royalty when he arises to steal back his beloved jewels.

"Matthias was the city's first parish church...today, tourists come to admire its imposing architecture, take in its historical symbolism and spend some time studying its impressive artwork."
