Unfortunately, I have not just purchased the world's largest zoom lense but the cathedral in Szentendre is called the Belgrade Cathedral in honour of the Serb population who built it and it is pretty spectacular due to the red pain that covers the walls and the tower - making sure that it really stands out across the town
Unfortunately, when we were there, it was closed as it has some pretty interesting icons and the like inside but we were able to walk the the slightly unkempt gardens and admire the marvellous building itself
There was also a museum of Serbian culture in the grounds of the Cathedral as well but we were there at lunch time and so that was closed too so we were not able to discover more about the Serb culture that has existed in this part of the world for such a long time - but which given the fluctuations between rulers and religions has passed backwards and forwards over the centuries
