In the centre of the town of Pécs, beneath Cathedral Square (Dóm tér) and St Stephan’s Square (Szent István tér), there is a Christian cemetery dating back to the 4th-6th centuries. Research and excavations so far have uncovered various burial constructions and over a hundred burial sites around a tomb chapel, a cemetery building and a mausoleum. The first painted crypts were discovered in 1780. They are ornamented with Biblical scenes, images of the apostles Peter and Paul, as well as floral and animal motifs. Parts of the heritage site are open to the public.
