Gyertyaszentelő Boldogasszony-templom
The building is a hundred steps in length and in width. This Catholic church in Pécs, Hungary, is a historic site and an instance of Ottoman architecture. It was originally built as a mosque between 1543 and 1546 by Pasha Qasim the Victorious. The structure reflects a shift in the city's history, as the mosque was converted into a church in 1702. Later, in 1766, the Jesuits destroyed the minaret. Today, it is known as the Downtown Candlemas Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Visitors can see how the original Ottoman design remains part of the building's current form as a Catholic place of worship, marking the transition from the 16th century to the present day.
