Franciscan church, Baroque Catholic church in Pécs, Hungary.

The Franciscan Church stands on a street corner in Pécs, its Baroque facade topped by a tympanum with a painted scene and a tower rising on the right side. Inside, the main altar shows Saint Francis, and side altars are dedicated to saints including Anne, Barbara, Anthony of Padua and Catherine. The church is oriented west, with the entrance on the east side.

Franciscans had a monastery and church here by 1309. Under Ottoman rule the building served as the Memi Pasha Mosque with a minaret and bath; the traveller Evliya Çelebi praised it in 1663. After the Turks were expelled the order rebuilt on the site from 1718, reusing the mosque's walls before erecting a Baroque church; the tower was finished in 1758 and the church by 1760. It has been a parish church since 1789.

The church is dedicated to St Francis of Assisi, and its parish feast is held on 4 October. Since 1941 a life-size nativity scene has been set up inside during Advent, with figures carved by the lay brother and carpenter Tóth Ferenc. The side altars are dedicated to saints including Anne, Barbara, Anthony of Padua and Teresa of Lisieux.

The church is accessible to visitors during the week for exploring its architectural features and religious objects. It is best to check service times beforehand to ensure your visit does not overlap with scheduled liturgical events.

Under the church lie crypts holding some 300 burials, and the walls of the mosque bath that once stood here survive in front of the western entrance, excavated and conserved in the second half of the 20th century. The small bell was cast by Klára Weinbert in Pécs in 1846, weighs 400 kg and measures 90 cm across its lower rim.
