St. Mary of the Snow Church
Havihegyi Havas Boldogasszony-templom
A small church on the hillside north of the old town; the terrace in front is the best viewpoint over Pécs' rooftops and the cathedral.
This small church was built in the 1690s to give thanks for the end of a plague and sits on Havi Hill, north of the old town. The terrace in front overlooks the rooftops of Pécs, the cathedral's four towers and the plain beyond, and it is where locals gather to watch the sunset. It is about a 15-minute uphill walk from Széchenyi Square, passing residential houses and small lanes that retain their old character. The terrace is free, and the interior of the church is usually open only during Mass.
