It's Hungary, but Not Budapest
Hey, Steemians!
If you’ve ever been to Hungary, then you’ve almost surely visited Budapest, its capital. It’s one of the most visited cities in Eastern Europe. But Hungary has many more beautiful towns and one of our favorite is Pecs.
Pecs is one of just a few places in Hungary where you can still see traces of Ottoman conquest. In fact, there are a couple of examples of mosques being converted into Christian cathedrals after the Ottoman rule ended. One of them is right on the main square and it’s quite an interesting sight.
Another cool fact about Pecs is that it has been chosen to be a European Capital of Culture for the year 2010. A remarkable achievement! This helped with infrastructure improvement and placed it on tourists’ radar.
I have been last year to Pecs It is a very nice city Have you been to the Early Christian Necropolis ?
Unfortunately, no... But judging from the pictures, it looks really nice. We'll definitely stop by if we find ourselves in Pecs again!
Never heard of this one :) thanks for sharing :))
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
I have been last year .. If you have a chance you shoud visit it @best-trip-eva
I will definitely consider it this summer :))
Very interesting town! Love to see more photos of this place. Fascinating how a mosque eas transformed into a church!!
It shows how people back then were practical and wanted to make good use of a building despite religious differences.
