Jakovali Hassan Mosque and Museum is a unique place to visit.
It was a mosque converted into a catholic church. Admission fee was HUF 1,900 for adults. It is very well maintained.
An absolute must to see!

Jakovali Hasan Pasha Mosque was built in the second half of the 16th century. Today it is the only mosque in Hungary that has been preserved in its entirety with a minaret and is still used for prayers. Otherwise pictures that someone placed next to the name of the mosque is not adequate because it represents the Gazi Kasim Pasha Mosque.

As already stated, do not be misled by the photos someone has attached - those are of the other mosque in Pecs, the Pasha Gazi Kassim Mosque, which has been converted to a Christian church.

The Jakawali Hassan Mosque is on a street that if you keep following it, will take you to the cathedral and some of the other well-known attractions in Pecs. It is a modest-sized building, but very well-curated. When we were there back in May, our experience went something like this:

first, you enter the lobby, which is all white and very clean (with a little table and chair to sit and have some tea if you so desired). After paying, you pass into a small room with an exhibit of artifacts connected with the mosque, and lots of mirrors like in an old fun house making you think the room is actually much larger than it is. From there, you enter a hallway, pitch-black, with no explanation of where you are going. At the end of the hallway, you go through a door, and then you are in the mosque sanctuary, the large room with a rather high ceiling and so forth.

My wife thought the whole progression rather curious, but I thought it could very well be deliberate. When you first enter the building, with the noise of the street in your ears, you are not ready to experience the beauty and stillness of the mosque. The disorienting passages of the mirrors and the blackness change your perspective, and when you finally enter the mosque, you are better able to appreciate where you are and what you see.

In the center of town in it's original form and still used as a house of prayer. Totally under appreciated and definitely worth a visit.

You pay to enter and it was worth to see how prayers were conducted in a mosque - 5 pillars of Islamic teaching and the prayer place. No photo taking inside - for whatever reason beyond my understanding.

I don't think the adaptation from mosque to Christian church has worked very well. The building itself is beautiful but the Christian addition seems out of place - visually. There is, however a lot of history, especially in the crypt. Do visit and make up your own mind. It is well worth your while.

The djami stands in the middle of the main square of Pécs. It is a very well designed, attractive building, and lends the square as well as the city a unique, multicultural and historical character. It is in good condition, and if you travel to Pécs it is certainly worth a look.
