PÉCS<br />

The city of Pécs, at the foot of the mountain Mecsek, was founded by the Romans in the 2nd century AD. After the Settlement<br />

of the Magyars in the Carpathian Basin in 1009, King Saint Stephen chose the settlement as one of ten bishoprics he founded.<br />

In the place of today’s cathedral, there was a chapel standing in the 4th century, which was rebuilt several times, gaining its<br />

present form as a result. The 4th century building of the Early Christian Mausoleum is an unparalleled sight of the city. The<br />

Early Christian necropolis is part of the World Heritage.<br />
