Pécs, near the Croatian border, is one of Hungary's most beautiful cities, with a mild Mediterranean feel. Its early Christian tombs are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its Ottoman mosque is now a church.
The old town
Széchenyi Square is dominated by the Mosque Church of Pasha Qasim, an Ottoman mosque converted into a Catholic church. The four-towered Pécs Cathedral stands nearby, above the Early Christian Necropolis with painted burial chambers.
Zsolnay
Pécs is the home of Zsolnay porcelain and ceramics, and the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter, in the former factory, has museums and galleries.
