ABOUT PECS

Pécs is the fifth largest city in Hungary and is located on the slopes of the Mecsek mountains in the south-west of the country near to the border with Croatia.

The city Sopianae was founded by the Romans. By the 4th century, it became the capital of the Valeria province and a significant early Christian centre. The early Christian necropolis from that era became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 2000. 

The first university in Hungary was founded in Pécs in 1367 by Louis I the Great (The largest university still resides in Pécs with about 34,000 students).  Pécs has a rich heritage from the age of a 150-year-long Ottoman occupation, like the mosque of Pasha Qasim the Victorious on Szechenyi square.

In 2010, Pécs was selected to be the European Capital of Culture sharing the title together with Essen and Istanbul. The city's motto is: "The Borderless City". After receiving the title major renewal started in the city. Renewed public places, streets, squares and neighbourhoods, new cultural centres, a concert hall, a new library and a cultural quarter were designed.
