The painted burial chambers of the 4th century beneath Cathedral Square and the Early Christian Mausoleum · 1 h 30 · From 3,900 Ft · UNESCO

What it is
In the 4th century, Pécs was Sopianae, a Roman city in the province of Pannonia, and its Christians buried their dead in painted chambers at the foot of the hill. Those tombs, the best preserved of their period outside Italy, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. The Cella Septichora visitor centre, beneath Cathedral Square, shows them from glass walkways: the seven-apsed chapel that gives it its name, the jug chamber, the Peter and Paul chamber with its frescoes. A few steps away, the Early Christian Mausoleum holds the largest chamber, with paintings of Adam and Eve and of Daniel in the lions' den.
