Gellert Hill Cave and an Unusual Church with a Brutal History
Gellért Hill in Budapest, Hungary was named after Bishop Gellért, who was thrown to his death by pagans in the fight against Christianity in 1046. Unusually for statues, the choice of location is fitting since this was the place where Bishop Gellért was tied up and pushed down into the river. His statue can be seen from many parts of Budapest.
The Gellért Hill Cave is part of a network of caves within the hill. Saint Istvan, a hermit who lived there is believed to have used the natural thermal water of the lake next to the cave to heal the sick. It is possible that this water also fed the pools of the Gellért Baths, one of the most famous thermal spa baths in Europe.

The Pauline Monks Created a Church in the Cave Once Occupied by St Istavan
The first modern entrance for the caves was constructed by a group of Pauline monks which is a monastic order of the Roman Catholic Church, founded in Hungary during the 13th century. Their name derives from the hermit, Saint Paul of Thebes, who is regarded as the first Christian hermit. He lived alone in the Egyptian desert from the age of sixteen until he died in approximately 345 AD at the age of one hundred and thirteen years old.
