The altar was carved in Carrara marble by Andrea Ferucci of Fiesole (1465-1526). It's ranked as one of the finest works of Renaissance art to have survived in Hungary.
The Basilica
This red marble chapel dates from before the Ottoman period and was commissioned by the Archbishop of Esztergom Tamás Bakócz in the early 16th century. The Florentine altar was salvaged from the original medieval basilica built on this site.
