Pécs is one of Hungary's oldest cities, with remains spanning Roman Sopianae, a medieval cathedral chapter, Ottoman occupation, and 19th-century industrial heritage. The Mosque of Pasha Gazi Kasim, converted to a Catholic church and now displaying both its Islamic and Christian layers simultaneously, stands at the centre of the main square. The Zsolnay Cultural Quarter celebrates the factory that produced the distinctive pyrogranite tilework seen on rooftops across Budapest and Vienna.
