St. Peter and Paul's Church, also known as Downtown Church, is the second largest church in the city after the Basilica of Esztergom. It is Baroque in style and was built in the second half of the 18th century on a former church site dating from the 13th century. The helmet of the tower, in historicist style, was only made at the end of the 19th century.
St. Anne's Church, also called the Franciscan church, was originally built in 1224 as part of a Franciscan monastery. The present building was built after the Turkish occupation, between 1700 and 1717, making it the oldest Baroque building in the city. Its tower was built in 1753, the onion helmet only in 1837, and in 1886 a new tower was built.
The Esztergom Synagogue was inaugurated in 1888 on the site of a former synagogue of the Esztergom Jewish community existing since the 11th century. The building has not had its original function since the Second World War. In 2006, it was purchased by the municipality and became the House of Culture (Művelődési Ház).
The Church of St. Anne, also known as the Round Church, is a Roman Catholic church in classicist style located in the southern part of Esztergom. Its construction began in 1828 and was completed in 1837. The church was built on the initiative of Prince Primate Alexander Rudnay, who wanted the building to be a reduced copy of the Esztergom Basilica.
