Located in the city of Pécs, Hungary, the Sts. Peter and Paul's Cathedral Basilica, often known as Pécs Cathedral, is a place of worship for Catholics and the cathedral of the Diocese of Pécs.
The Pécs Cathedral's foundations date back to the fourth century, during the Roman era. It is thought that an early Christian basilica, which expanded westward between the eighth and ninth centuries, once stood where the cathedral now stands. The decision to alter the structure was made during Stephen I's rule, and it is likely that the two western towers were built during this time.Italian architects were involved in the construction of the Romanesque church following the great fire of 1064. The church was expanded with Gothic chapels and two lateral towers during the Middle Ages. There have been attempts to rebuild the building following the Turkish occupation (1543-1686), which caused damage and decay. The rebuilding, which took place between 1882 and 1891, faithfully followed the original designs created by Friedrich von Schmidt Viennese, the architect of the cathedral, and gave it its current neo-Romanesque aspect. The church is seventy meters long, twenty-two meters wide, and up to sixty meters high in the towers.
