I have visited Pecs many times, in particularly near termal springs of Harkany where I drove my parents on therapy twice a year. This weekend I was there again in order to make new photos, coz the old ones are valuable memory on my deceased parents.
The town of Pecs is incredible cute place in particularly the old city centre and residential area situated on a very steep hills. In the old centre of the town there are a pleanty of reataurants, hotels, caffe bars and most of all a very good ice-cream shops. |
|  | The Cathedral The town of Pecs, located in the southwestern Hungary, was founded two thousand years ago. According to chronicler Anonymous, the Hungarians (Magyars) arrived here around 899, led by Ete and Bojta.
The history of the town had three major periods; the first was the history of Sopianae in the Roman age, the other two took place in the Middle Ages. |
The Synagogue As a consequence of the Turkish occupation in the mid-16th century, almost nothing survived intact from the Middle Ages. The other major was the Renaissance, probably nourished by the university set up in 1367, for the first time in Hungary.
After 143 years of Turkish occupation, the town was liberated in a terrible conditions. It could be said that no stone remained unturned in the town. | | |

Hi Boris! The Zsolnay sculpture standing in crossroads of Rákóczi út and Szabadság út depicts the founder of Pécs china factory, Vilmos Zsolnay. The five sitting men display the pottery, the sculpture, the architecture, the painting and the chemistry. | janika Sun Oct 28, 2007 01:33 UTC
A super city to visit, Just came back from Pecs this monday and I really enjoyed it. The fellow on the balkony is (Franz) Liszt Ferenc, the famous Hungarian composer. He was really there once. Cheers from Ottawa! ;) | popi3 Fri Jun 22, 2007 09:18 UTC
