Zsolnay Mausoleum, Neo-Roman mausoleum in Pécs, Hungary.

The Zsolnay Mausoleum features dark green majolica-glazed tiles on its dome and unenameled pyrogranite tiles across its exterior facade at the top of a hill.

Built between 1901 and 1913, the mausoleum houses the remains of Vilmos Zsolnay, founder of the Zsolnay factory, and contains a burial chapel with a chamber beneath.

The interior design by sculptor Sándor Apáti Abt includes a glass opeion hole, Roman column parapet, and decorated walls depicting blue skies, cherubs, and golden stars.

Recent renovations under the Pécs2010 European Capital of Culture Programme restored the mausoleum, promenade, lions, and fence to their original condition.

A central eosin sarcophagus rests on a podium in the vault, which visitors can view from both above and below through an architectural layout similar to Napoleon's tomb.
