Early Christian Necropolis of Pécs, Early Christian burial site in Pécs, Hungary
The necropolis contains multiple underground burial chambers and tombs featuring religious murals that depict early Christian symbolism and biblical scenes throughout the structure.
Dating from the 4th century, this burial complex emerged when Pécs was known as Sopianae, serving as a primary settlement in the Roman province of Pannonia.
The architectural design of the two-story burial chambers combines underground crypts with above-ground chapels, reflecting the evolution of early Christian funeral practices.
The site maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the Cella Septichora Visitor Centre.
Sixteen distinct burial chambers form this complex, with five containing preserved painted frescoes that demonstrate early Christian artistic techniques and religious symbolism.
