Nador hotel

by croisbeauty

The famous Nador hotel is situated on the eastern part of the Szechenyi ter, right opposite to the Gazi Pasha Hassan Mosque. Originally it was the parish office but in 1846 it was turned into the hotel. In 1902, the old building was pulled down and the new was built with more rooms and more luxury.
Recently, as you can see on the picture, the whole building is under the major reconstructions.

	Visiting the four tower basilica Tip Rating:

One of Pecs's most famous and oldest architectural marvel. This is also the home Church for the Arch Bishop of Pecs. When I visited this place, I wondered hours inside it. There is so much detail and history in and around this place. The basilica is located inside the city wall which was built in the 14-th century in order to protect Pecs from the Turkish, Ottoman army. The basilica itself was erected in the 11-th century, First with only two towers and later, in the 12-th 14-th and 16-th century additions completed this beautiful building. Inside there is not an inch left without detail. The basement used to be a meeting place for high ranked priests and bishops, including Ferdinand.

Please wear appropriate clothing, when visiting this place and also try staying quiet, as some times people pray inside. Cameras are allowed and I thing flash is also allowed, but I tried not to use flash in the main hall. You need at least 2, 3 hours to properly observe everything in this place.

	Ferencesek street Tip Rating:

Updated By pecsihornet on March 11, 2007

My favourite street in Pécs is Ferencesek street which leads from Széchenyi square to Kórház square. If you walk along this street towards Kórház square you reach the Franciscan Church in the end of the street, after which the street itself was named. Like Király street this street is a pedestrian precinct with lots of shops on both sides.

	Király Street - Tha walking, mediterranean street Tip Rating:

By pecsihornet on April 3, 2007

Pecs Page by pecsihornet

by pecsihornet

Király street is the pedestrian precinct of the city. The street was named Király street in 1864 in honour of József Király, who was bishop of Pécs from 1807 to 1825. In 1945 it became Kossuth Lajos street, but today the street bears the name Király again. In this street one can see many historic buildings and famous houses. The tables of the taverns in the street and the tunes played by street musicians make the main street an atmospheric part of the city.

	The bath of pasha Memi Tip Rating:

Updated By pecsihornet on March 12, 2007

Pecs Page by pecsihornet

by pecsihornet

The bath domes used to be an inevitable component of the Turkish townscape. The Turkish bath was not only a place for cleaning the body but also an important centre of social life. The great Turkish traveller Evlia Celebi claims that there were three baths in Pécs in the second part of the 17th century - the baths of Memi Pasha, Ferhad Pasha and Kassim Pasha - which all have been either partly or entirely destroyed. The bath of Ferhad Pasha disappeared very early, only the basement walls have been found. The bath of Memi Pasha was pulled down in the 1880s, but it was excavated and restored in 1963 together with the fountain, which used to be inside.

Varoshaza - City hall

by janika

The City Hall can be seen from the main plaza, Szechenyi Ter, and it is a beautiful building, inside and out, especially at night, when it's nicely lit and and you see the traffic and people walking by it. The building itself is 100 years old and has been professionally renovated. The firs City hall was erected here in the 19-th century but exploded and this was built in it's place.

	The road of the Martyrs of Arad Tip Rating:

Updated By pecsihornet on March 12, 2007

Pecs Page by pecsihornet

by pecsihornet

The name of Aradi vértanúk street (the road of the Arad martyrs) preserves the memory of those thirteen martyrs who died in the war of liberation, which succeeded the revolution on March 15, 1848. The pedestals on the upper promenade were made for the statues of the martyrs of the 1848/49 revolution and war of liberation who were executed in Arad in retaliation.

	Turkish built Dzsami Tip Rating:

Dzsami

by janika, 1 more photos

This Turkish built Dzsami is probably one of the best preserved buildings from the the time when the Ottomans were occupying Hungary. In 1975 it was reconstructed to it's original form because in the 17-th century the building was donated to the Christian church. The original Turkish paintings can be seen today. This is right at the upper section of Szechenyi Ter and can be seen very nicely in the dark too. Please click on more photos under the image to see a night shot of this place, Thank you!

	The türbe of Baba Idris Tip Rating:

Updated By pecsihornet on March 12, 2007

Pecs Page by pecsihornet

by pecsihornet

The sepulchral monument (türbe) of Idris baba is situated in the picturesque garden of the children's hospital. Idris baba was a doctor and he lived in Pécs in the second half of the 16th century. He must have come to Hungary with the conquerors or the first settlers. After his death the residents started to worship the famous doctor and his tomb became a place of pilgrimage. When the Turkish occupation ended the Jesuit Order took possession of the türbe. In 1693 it was converted into a chapel and was named after Saint Rókus who protected the city against the plague. When the epidemic was over the army came into possession of the building and stored gunpowder in it until 1913, when the restoration work began.
