The central square of Pécs is spacious, mediterranean square.
In its centre, the mosque of Gazi Qasim Pasha is a symbol of conquest, the triumph of Christianity and religious tolerance that has now forgotten the religious disputes. The new paving of the square was completed in 2010 as part of the European Capital of Culture programme. Water steps follow the footsteps of pedestrians, and on hot summer days the silence of siesta in the afternoons and the clamour of the younger generation in the evenings take over the stones and benches.
