Pécs Cathedral: A Majestic Blend of History & Art ⛪✨

Standing proudly in Szentháromság Square, this grand cathedral (dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul) neighbors the Bishop’s Palace and Pécs University’s historic campus—once home to its famed medical school. Architectural Journey Through Time 🏛️ ✔ 11th-Century Origins: Began as a Romanesque church, later transformed into a mosque during Ottoman rule. ✔ 1891 Rebirth: Rebuilt in Neo-Romanesque style—note the four 50m towers in soft green, contrasting with snow-white walls. ✔ Golden Interior: Gilded sculptures, medieval frescoes, and an ancient Christian crypt (open to visitors!). Why Visit? 🌟 Landmark Status: The cathedral’s sheer scale dominates Pécs’ skyline. Artistic Treasures: Don’t miss the 12th-century tomb frescoes underground. Perfect Photo Spot: Sunset lights up the towers like honey! 🍯 #HungaryTravel #HiddenEurope #CathedralLovers
