Early Christian Necropolis
Bedste tid at besøge
The early morning hours offer fewer crowds and a soft light that enhances the colors of the frescoes. Avoid the weekends if you prefer to stroll through the galleries in peace.
Budgettips
Admission costs around 8 euros for adults, with a discount for students and those over 65. The Pécs City Pass includes access and is worth it if you plan to visit several museums.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Mere end 600 malede grave fra det 4. århundrede udgør dette tidligt kristne gravkompleks. Freskerne afslører bibelske scener og kristne symboler i en imponerende bevaringstilstand.
Højdepunkter: I gravkammeret for Sankt Peter og Sankt Paulus vil du se fresker, der stråler med okker- og røde farver, som om de var malet i går. En af gravene indeholder den ældste kendte fremstilling af Jomfru Maria med Jesusbarnet i hele den kristne kunst.
Insidertips
- Bring a light jacket even if it is hot outside, the underground temperature hovers around 15 degrees all year round.
- The tomb of Peter and Paul has the best-preserved frescoes; focus on that room if you have little time.
- Flash photography is prohibited, but with a modern phone in night mode you will get good pictures of the frescoes.
- First visit the interpretation center upstairs to understand the historical context before going down to the tombs.
