Ruins in Tettye

Ruins in Tettye, Renaissance ruins in Tettye district, Pécs, Hungary.

The ruins in Tettye are the remains of a one-storey Renaissance palace built in a U shape with a courtyard opening south, erected by Bishop György Szatmári between 1505 and 1521. A tower attached to the southeast wall survives, and the standing walls show no traces of Turkish rebuilding. The ruin stands in Tettye Park on the southern slope of the Mecsek.

Bishop György Szatmári, bishop of Pécs from 1505 to 1521, built a one-storey Renaissance palace with a U-shaped plan and a courtyard open to the south; a tower stood at its south-east wall. During the Turkish occupation dervishes lived there, giving the area the name 'tekke'. The palace passed intact into Turkish hands and was used with little change; it was abandoned at the end of the 18th century, and its walls were conserved in 1904.

The ruins now serve as an outdoor theater during summer, with performances set against the old stone walls. This use shows how the place continues to bring people together for art and entertainment after centuries of different purposes.

The site is easiest to reach on foot by following Kossuth Lajos Street northeast from Széchenyi Square, with parking available nearby. Summer is the best time to visit if you want to catch performances, though the park remains accessible year-round.

The name Tettye derives from 'tekke', the Turkish word for a dervish monastery, since dervishes lived in the palace during Ottoman rule. The Bektashi order's central monastery near Tirana is still called Tettye by Albanians, the same name as this Pécs hillside.
