All Saints Church, Pecs

All Saints Church, Pecs (must see)

The Romanesque-style All Saints Church is one of the oldest churches in Pécs. It was built in the twelfth century and underwent several Gothic and Baroque modifications. This was the only church in Pecs that remained Christian in times of Turkish rule. The Catholics, Reformed and Unitarians used it as a gathering place. Religious debate was held here in 1588 by the Reformed and Unitarian parish ministers; the debate is known as Pécsi disputa. The church returned to the Catholics in 1664. The south part of the cemetery that is placed near the church contains tombs from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries but the north one holds Baroque gravestones.
