Esztergom's courthouse is a useful reminder that the town is more than its basilica. The building anchors the civic side of Esztergom, with a formal facade and urban presence that contrast with the religious monuments on the hill above.
Do not make a special journey just for it, but notice it while walking between the centre, the Danube, and the castle hill. It helps round out the town's architecture and gives the streets below the basilica a stronger sense of place.
