Early Christian Necropolis
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
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.

Over
Korte feiten: Meer dan 600 beschilderde graven uit de vierde eeuw vormen dit vroegchristelijke grafcomplex. De fresco's tonen bijbelse taferelen en christelijke symbolen in een indrukwekkende staat van conservering.
Hoogtepunten: In de grafkamer van Petrus en Paulus zie je fresco's die schitteren in oker- en roodtinten alsof ze gisteren zijn geschilderd. Een van de graven bevat de oudst bekende afbeelding van de Maagd Maria met het Kind Jezus in de gehele christelijke 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.
