    We had a very nice tour of this Cathedral, the adjacent winery, and the town square today.

    The church was apparently rebuilt in the late 1800s (a few pictures inside and out are attached) and the organ was also made in the late 1800s ( with over 6,000 pipes) picture attached.

    Apparently centuries of conquerers and wars ruined it from the 11th or 12th century.

    This museum is the history of the ceramics factory in Pecs. This factory made the roof tiles for St. Mattias Church in Budapest. There are many pieces of art that are worth a look. This museum does not take long to go through.

    Fascinating place to see impact of early Roman Christians as well as Roman architecture and construction practices. The facility is outstanding with movies in Hungarian and English with a very helpful staff. Given its proximity to the Pecs Cathedral, highly recommend a walkthrough prior to seeing the cathedral. Watching the film and observing the mausoleum only took 15 minutes. If you go, highly recommend buying the combination ticket to see the Sopianae right up the hill. The information gleaned from some of the bone analyses was fascinating to see the contrast in living conditions.

    During a river cruise, my husband and I stopped in historic Pecs for a visit. We had an opportunity to spend time at the magnificent Pecs Cathedral, Zolnay’s Museum to see and hear about the manufacturing of its famous porcelain tile and the Cella Septichora burial site. It was an educational experience and an incredible photo op. Lots to see and enjoy. Don’t miss this place.

    Beautiful building inside - worth a look. There is an exhibition in the galleries included in the entry price to learn about the history of the building, the Jewish community and what happened in WWII.

    Quite and relaxing for evening time. We spent some time walking around looking for restaurants. Nice buildings in the old part of the town. Mostly well maintained. Good meeting point.

    Right in the middle of the old city is Kiraly Utca. It is a relatively straight street with gorgeous painted buildings on either side. Different types of architectures adorn the buildings and are certainly worth a healthy peeking!

    An interesting transformation of a Christian church into a Muslim temple and back into a Christian church and a museum with modern paintings in the interior.
