Abstract

The author made a trip to Hungary (to the city of Pécs) in April 1997. It was a study trip when the Author (with the client of the project) visited the city of Pécs in Hungary, as part of the development of a project for a gas station in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As it was the time immediately after the war (1992 – 1995), both the Author and his client had the intention of learning about the latest solutions of gasoline pumps, and the city of Pécs in Hungary was the closest place in the environment where new solutions could be learned. From the Croatian-Hungarian border crossing, the road to Pécs led through a colorful landscape (the image of which was made even more rich by the white spring bloom of rich orchards) and smaller towns - Drávaszabolcs, Harkány, Túrony and Szalaánta. In preparation for this trip, the Author planned to visit the Kasim Pasha Mosque from the Ottoman period (1543-1546), as he was convinced in advance that it was a special architectural attraction, rarely preserved monuments from the Ottoman Empire era on Hungarian soil. As the Kasim Pasha Mosque is located on Szechenyi Square (Hungarian: Széchenyi tér, English: Széchenyi Square), the main square in the city, the author had the opportunity to see the most important architectural objects (architectural cultural and historical heritage) of the city of Pécs: City Hall, Parish Church, Hotel Nádor, Zsolnay Bay, Fatebenefratelli Church, Trinity Statue and bronze sculpture of János Hunyadi on a horse.
