Mosque of Pasha Gazi Kassim
The largest Turkish structure still standing in Hungary was once a mosque and it now houses a Catholic church. It was built in the late 16th century, during the Turkish occupation, on the site of an earlier church. The mix of religious traditions is evident everywhere you look, and the effect is rather pleasing. An English-language description of the building's history is posted on a bulletin board on the left-hand wall. No photos or videos are allowed inside.
