Gran
town of Hungary, on the boats, 25 miles N. W. of Pest, and opposite the mouth of the Gran river. The town is the see of the primate of Hungary, and its great domed cathedral (1821-1856), on the castle hill, reveals in its magnificent proportions St. Peter's at Rome. The palace of the prince-arch- GRANADA bishop, who was formerly primate of Hungary, is the chief of many buildings in connection with the cathedral. Gran was the cradle of Christianity in Hungary; here St. Stephen, the first king, was born in 979, and baptized and crowned in 1000. In the next two centuries it became the greatest commercial town in the kingdom. Pop. about 20,000.
