Barbican of Pécs
Barbakán
The best-preserved round medieval defensive fortress, at the northwest corner of the old town, with a garden walking path along its walls.
The Barbican is the round outpost fortress of Pécs' 15th-century city walls and the best-preserved part of the medieval defenses. Its inner courtyard occasionally hosts open-air performances. The garden path outside the walls runs all the way to the cathedral and behind the bishop's palace, and it is free to visit. It takes only a few minutes to see, making it a convenient stop right after the cathedral.
