The Basilica of St Peter's in Pecs
The Basilica of St. Peter's was the highlight of my visit to Pecs. It originally built in the 11th century but has been rebuilt and renovated many times since. The most recent reconstruction was in 1881 and what you see today is the result. The interior is very ornate with many frescos and mosaics by many of Hungary's most important 19th century artists. The side chapels were very impressive with very fine religious art. The exterior is notable for its four steeples that dominate the skyline of Pecs. It gives the cathedral a Romanesque look although I think that the towers were actually part of the 19th century reconstruction.It costs 1000ft to be admitted to the Basilica.
