About Pécs
Pécs is a sunny city in southern Hungary below the Mecsek hills, with Roman-era painted tombs, an Ottoman mosque-church and a ceramics tradition.
Pécs lies in southern Hungary, sheltered by the Mecsek hills so that its climate is warmer than most of the country. The Romans founded Sopianae here, and its early Christian burial chambers, painted with biblical scenes, are on UNESCO's World Heritage list. Széchenyi tér, the main square, is dominated by a former mosque from the Ottoman period, now a church, whose domed form betrays its past.
