Mosque of Pasha Qasim, Ottoman mosque in Széchenyi Square, Pécs, Hungary

The Mosque of Pasha Qasim stands at 29 meters long and 16 meters wide, featuring characteristic Ottoman elements with pointed arches and stone decorations.

Built during the Ottoman occupation in the 16th century under Pasha Qasim's leadership, the structure later transformed into a Catholic church after Turkish withdrawal.

The building combines Islamic and Christian architectural elements, with preserved mihrab prayer niches alongside Catholic religious symbols and decorative patterns.

The mosque opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours with interactive tablets that explain the architectural features and historical significance.

The structure maintains its original Ottoman minaret base while functioning as the Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
