It became a Catholic church afterwards and kept both identities visibly \u2014 the mihrab facing Mecca is still in the wall alongside the Christian altar.\r\nWhat is the UNESCO site? | The early Christian necropolis under the cathedral square: fourth-century burial chambers with painted walls, from when the city was the Roman town of Sopianae. Entry is about \u20ac6 and it is genuinely rare \u2014 few painted tombs of that age survive anywhere.\r\nWhat is Zsolnay? | A porcelain manufacturer founded here in 1853, known for an iridescent glaze called eosin that it developed and kept secret. Its frost-resistant tiles cover roofs across Hungary including the parliament in Budapest. The old factory is now a cultural quarter, free to walk through.\r\nIs it worth the trip from Budapest? | Just under three hours by train for about \u20ac11, and yes for two days. It is the mildest and sunniest part of Hungary, it stacks Roman, Ottoman and Habsburg history in a small walkable centre, and it is cheaper than the capital.\r\nWhere is the wine? | Vill\u00e1ny, thirty minutes south, which produces Hungary's best reds \u2014 Cabernet Franc does unusually well there. A glass in P\u00e9cs runs \u20ac2 to \u20ac4, and the cellar row at Vill\u00e1nyk\u00f6vesd is the place to go properly.\r\nWhen should I avoid? | July and August. It is the hottest corner of Hungary at around 28\u00b0C, the students are away, and a lot of the cheap places that make the city good are closed with them.\r\nCan I cross into Croatia from here? | Yes.
