What Esztergom is on the right bank of the Danube, Vác is on the left bank. Vac is younger. As with many of the leading cities of the Middle Ages, the church was the reason for the city, not industry and not trade. And, though it is a mere bishopric, not an archbishopric, it began with a royal edict from the great St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary.
The Cathedral (at Marcius 15 tér) was therefore built with all the wealth and splendor of the church at that time, rising over 150 feet, with 12 gigantic Corinthian pillars and magnificent Renaissance balustrades with frescoes and artistic treasures gracing the walls and ceilings.
