Castle of Pécs, Medieval castle ruin in Pécs, Hungary
The square-shaped fortress includes an outer tower, standing walls, and remnants of a gatehouse in the northwestern section of Pécs inner city.
The castle withstood multiple conflicts until 1543 when Ottoman forces captured it and transformed the structure into their administrative center for the region.
The fortress grounds contain the Cathedral of Pécs with its four towers and the Bishopric Palace, marking centuries of religious significance in the region.
Visitors can explore the preserved medieval gatehouse, walk through the castle courtyard, and examine the remains of the defensive walls with outer towers.
The castle features a 7.2-meter diameter barbican connected to the main wall through a neck wall, displaying medieval Hungarian military architecture.
