⛪ Pécs Cathedral - A Majestic Landmark
Standing solemnly on St. István Square, the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul dominates Pécs’ skyline with its four 50m-tall pastel-green towers against snow-white walls. 🏛️ A Journey Through Time • 11th-century origins (Romanesque style) • Ottoman era: Converted to a mosque 🕌 • 1891 rebirth: Rebuilt in Neo-Romanesque splendor ✨ Inside the Sacred Space • Golden-hued interiors adorned with medieval frescoes & sculptures • Ancient Christian crypts (some open to visitors!) • Stunning symmetry blending Renaissance & Gothic influences 📍 Why Visit? A UNESCO-adjacent masterpiece (the early Christian tombs next door are World Heritage-listed!) and the beating heart of Pécs’ spiritual history. #Hungary #SacredArchitecture #PécsDiaries #CathedralLovers
