Calvary Chapel, Catholic chapel in Pécs, Hungary.

Calvary Chapel is a single-towered classicist round church on the Kálvária Hill outside Pécs's old town wall, built 1814–1817. Its interior is centred on an altar to the Holy Cross with a large painted sandstone relief of the Calvary scene, flanked by life-size statues of Mary and Saint John. The garden holds 14 Stations of the Cross and a Holy Sepulchre cave.

A Corpus Christi chapel stood here by 1270, when Bishop Pál Széchy ordered a Corpus Christi procession up Bertalan Hill; it was destroyed under Ottoman rule. The Jesuits acquired the hill in 1701 and erected seven stations and three crosses in 1712–13. The present chapel was consecrated in 1814 and furnished by 1817, funded by Pécs citizens, guilds and associations, with weaver Ábel József covering the extra costs.

The hill's name comes from the Calvary devotion once held here; Jesuits erected seven stations and three crosses on the hilltop in 1712–13. The 14 cast-iron reliefs, ordered from Würzburg and shipped by boat down the Danube to Mohács, were consecrated in 1895. Their order is unusual: they climb from the western slope to the chapel, then descend on the eastern side.

The chapel stands on Kálvária Hill outside the old city wall, reached by the two-armed stone staircase built in the early 1930s, with a stone cross at its foot. The garden holds the 14 cast-iron stations and the Holy Sepulchre cave; the stations run from the western slope up to the chapel and back down the eastern side. A lookout terrace, the Nyolc Boldogság, was laid out on the hill in 2012.

The stations of the cross here follow an unusual order: instead of climbing diagonally from the bottom, they run up the western slope to the chapel and then descend on the eastern side. The cast-iron reliefs installed at the end of the 19th century were ordered from Würzburg and shipped by boat down the Danube to Mohács, then carried by cart to Pécs.
