The four towered Cathedral of Pecs was originally built in the 11th century, but the current incarnation was clearly the result of more recent renovations, dating back to end of the 19th century. It overlooks a beautiful tree-shaded square, and the walks around here are wonderful on a hot summer afternoon.

The main square of Pecs is a relaxing space spoiled only by the occasional wasp. From here the grand mosque looks down upon the smokers, lunchtime sandwich eaters, tourists and unemployed who sit around on the benches surrounding the square. The square itself is sloped, rolling down from the mosque to the streets below the city center.
It's a great place to start any tour of the city, as anything of interest in Pecs can be reached in a few minutes walk from here. It's also a great place to finish any tour, as you can sit down, rest your feet and enjoy a coffee while enjoying the view of possibly the finest buildings in southern Hungary. Leave a Comment Address: Szechenyi Istvan SquareDirections: Right in the middle of the city.

Most of the oeuvre of the great hungarian postimpressionst painter Csontváry can be admired here. Works created at the various stages of his career can be seen up to the large-scale symbolic compositions of the mid 1910's. These include the masterpieces on moral and philosophical models like the Entrance to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and Mary's Well in Nazareth as well as the magical radiant paintings like Baalbek (1906) and Solitary Cedar. Hungary was represented by Solitary Cedar on the exhibition of "The masterpieces of European art".
City of Pécs will be the European Capital of Culture in 2010.
Opening times: 1 Apr-31 Oct: Tue-Sun 10-18; 1 Nov-31 March: Tue-Sun 10-17 Address: Pécs, Janus Pannonius u. 11.Phone: 72/310-544

The largest remnant of the Turkish occupation of Hungary, the church that overlooks Szechenyi Square was quite obviously a mosque originally. The minaret has been replaced by a tower, and the crescent with a cross, but its architectural lines are prominently Turkish.
But it's not entirely unreasonable that it should have been converted into a church. For one thing the Turkish have long since been driven out of the city, and the mosque itself was built from the rubble of the previous cathedral of Pecs: St. Bertalan.
