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.

Reminds me of the cathedrals of Rome. You should definitely not miss it. The price is not low, but you forget it at the moment you enter. Currently under restoration, but most parts are ready and wonderfully restored, and you can see how they work on the remaininv parts, which is pretty interesting. (Entrance fee is reduced now) Climb to the tower for a 360o view of Pécs.

This is a marvelous 4-tower cathedral which dates back 1700 years in the middle of Pecs. It has a very high painted ceiling with frescoes surrounding the walls. The crypt downstairs is decorated in many Islamic symbols. In the crypt are also replicas of the church through the years. Also it houses a Unesco World Heritage Site of the burial chambers of many of the old Romans when they inhabited Pecs. This is a gem and a "must see" if you're anywhere near Pecs.

It is a beautiful church. I think it is in the top 5 in Hungary. It is unique with its four towers. It was renovated in the last years so it seems quite new. You should visit the sub-church, because it is more amasing. You can also visit one of the towers.
Quite expensive but it worth.

I have been living in Pécs in the last 13 years. The cathedral is part of the historical heart of the city. The Cathedral itself may not be that unique compared to the famous cathedrals of the world. But here you can find more miracles in some hundreds of meters distance.
The cathedral was built on the ruins of even older churches not later than the 11th century.
Behind the Cathedral the walls of the old university (established in 1367) can be seen (I am not sure if the place has opened already or still under reconstruction).
Just 100 m from the Cathedral the entrance of the 4TH CENTURY EARLY CHRISTIAN BURIAL SITES can be found. I think this is really unique.

More than just a cathedral, this complex includes a treasury, a crypt, an exhibit of stone carvings from the 12th century cathedral, and an excellently preserved and accessible 4th century burial vault. Well worth a visit.

This building has pieces of art that are worth looking at. They allow guests to go to the tower, which allows you to look over all of Pecs. Great for pictures.
