Lonely Planet review for Mosque Church
Dominating Széchenyi tér, a central square of largely baroque buildings, is the 16th-century Pasha Gazi Kassim Mosque. Today it is the Inner Town Parish Church (Belvárosi plébánia templom), more commonly known as the Mosque Church. It is the largest building from the time of the Turkish occupation still standing in Hungary and the very symbol of the city. The Islamic elements are easy to spot inside: windows with distinctive Turkish ogee arches to the south; a mihrab (prayer niche) carved into the southeast wall; faded verses from the Koran to the southwest.
