Discover Pécs
Pécs lies in southwestern Hungary below the Mecsek hills. Its position between higher ground and southern lowlands creates a different setting from the Danube capital or eastern plain cities. Universities and several historical layers shape the centre.

A southern regional city
Pécs is the principal centre of Baranya. Hills behind the city provide a clear geographical frame beside the more open country to the south.
Ottoman buildings and ceramics
Ottoman architecture remains visible, while Zsolnay ceramics represent another important local history. Mining and other industries also contributed to growth. These combined influences prevent the city from being reduced to one single historical period or architectural style.
