Tips
Impossible not to notice on the north side of Széchenyi square is an impressive reminder of the 150 years of Ottoman occupation of Pécs in the 16th and 17th centuries.
This place of worship dates back to 1580. And although its minaret was torn down a few decades after the Habsburgs rebuilt the city in the early 18th century, the mosque's octagonal main body was simply converted into a Catholic church.translated by
