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

The stone ruins stand on a hill within a four-hectare park, featuring walls and foundations of a former palace structure.

Bishop György Szathmáry constructed this summer residence in the early 16th century, which later transformed into a dervish monastery during Turkish rule.

The ruins now function as an outdoor theater space during summer months, hosting performances against the backdrop of medieval architecture.

Visitors can reach the ruins by following Kossuth Lajos Street northeast from Széchenyi Square in Pécs city center, with parking available nearby.

The site name originates from the Turkish word 'tekia' meaning monastery, reflecting the location's transformation from Christian to Islamic use.
