PÉCS, EARLY CHRISTIAN CEMETERIES<br />
The predecessor of the city of Pécs in Roman times<br />
was the city of Sopianae. This city’s more affluent<br />
residents left behind a number of tomb monuments.<br />
A particularity of the late Roman and early Christian<br />
cemeteries and mausoleums is that these tombs are built<br />
out of stone and their interiors are decorated with murals<br />
depicting biblical scenes. This unique burial ground was<br />
inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2000.<br />
