World Heritage
Hungary
🎧 Listen to Introduction
In the 4th century AD, a series of richly decorated tombs were built in the necropolis of the Roman provincial city of Sopiana (modern Pécs). The tombs are structurally and architecturally significant, as they are underground burial chambers, while memorial churches were built above ground. The tombs are also artistically significant, as they are richly decorated with high-quality frescoes depicting Christian themes.
