What it is
The green dome that closes Széchenyi Square, the centre of Pécs, is a 16th-century mosque of Pasha Gázi Kászim, from the 150 years of Ottoman rule. After the reconquest it became the Church of Our Lady of Candlemas and today it is both a Catholic church and an Ottoman monument: inside, the altar, the verses of the Koran on the walls and the mihrab niche facing Mecca live side by side. It is the image of the city.
