This monumental square atop Castle Hill extends east from the basilica and is bordered by resplendent historical architecture.

The properties around the square belonged to the clergy, and include the Old Seminary and Auxiliary Episcopal Palace, which sits across from the basilica on eastern flank.

North of the basilica, and on the northwest corner of the square is a sculpture of St.

Stephen at the top of one of the castle’s roundels, overlooking the Danube.
