Early Christian Necropolis
Meilleur moment pour visiter
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.
Conseils budget
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.

À propos
Faits rapides: Plus de 600 tombes peintes du IVe siècle forment ce complexe funéraire paléochrétien. Les fresques révèlent des scènes bibliques et des symboles chrétiens dans un état de conservation impressionnant.
Points forts: Dans la Chambre Funéraire de Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul, vous verrez des fresques qui brillent de couleurs ocres et rouges comme si elles avaient été peintes hier. Une des tombes contient la plus ancienne représentation connue de la Vierge Marie avec l'Enfant Jésus dans tout l'art chrétien.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
