The main church of the city dates back to the 13th century.
The spire was actually part of the city defence line. On
the 85-meter-high steeple there is a golden pillow (2x2
m) which carries a copy of the Hungarian royal crown as
a sign that St. Martinīs Cathedral was the coronation church
of Hungarian kings in the 16th century. From 1563 to 1830,
11 Hungarian kings and 8 royal wives were crowned here.
