Dominican House, Pecs

The construction of the Dominican House was started in 1724 as a church, but later the building was converted to an apartment building by the 19th century. There is a pyro-granite plaque on the building's facade with a picture of the old church and a marble plank in the middle of the square that tells about the Dominicans whose history in Pecs dates back to 1288. Now the Dominican House is a cultural centre.
