You're standing on Széchenyi Square, the main square in the heart of Pécs. Look up to the highest point of the square. That building with the broad dome is a Catholic church, but that's not how it started. It was built as a mosque by Pasha Qasim, nicknamed 'the Victorious'. Today it's one of the symbols of the city.
