That was a Catholic church originally, which was converted to a mosque, then when at the end of the Ottoman occupation the shape remained but was converted BACK to a Catholic church
@@whr_vlogs Yes, only the foundations of the original cristian church remained. Then elso this building was modified several times after the Ottoman times, it had even a bell tower for some time but then finally it was decided to preserve the Ottoman style even if this part of our history is not we Hungarians praise, but it is still part of our history nevertheless. So it was stripped back to the mosque shape. But as you might have observed on the tip of the dome you can see a crest AND a cross together in one symbol. It is quite unique, is not it? Hungary has always absorbed every influences it received and created something unique out of it. We still do it even if the mainstream propaganda tries to make the world believe we are xenophobic. We are not, we only treasure what we have.
The first university of Hungary was founded here in Pécs in 1367

Pecs looks like a very nice place to visit. Much better than looking into a dusty old PC LOL

I see. But I suppose the "mosque" part was built by the Ottomans then?
