Széchenyi Square & Zsolnay Fountain
Széchenyi tér
The sloping square at the heart of Pécs' old town, framed by the Gazi Kasim Pasha mosque-church, City Hall and a bull-head Zsolnay fountain.
Széchenyi Square is the heart of Pécs' old town. At its north end stands the Gazi Kasim Pasha mosque-church, surrounded by City Hall, the county government building and cafés. At the south end, the Zsolnay Fountain is decorated with pearl-glazed bull heads and commemorates the Zsolnay family; it is a favorite photo spot. King Street, the pedestrian street, runs east from here, and the cathedral is a few minutes' walk northwest. The square is free to visit and makes a good starting point for exploring. It has a lovely atmosphere in the evening under the lights.
