Ferhat Pasha Mosque, which has survived as a ruin, is located on the land behind the buildings at the intersection of Kazincy Street and Perczel Miklós Street in the Pecs suburb. The work was built by Ferhat Pasha, who was the governor of Budin between 1588 and 1592. On page 162 of the Rumeli Mahlut Register numbered 1197 in was a bath and a Halveti Lodge next to the mosque. Evliya Çelebi briefly mentions the mosque as “It is a large and prosperous mosque, but it is devoid of congregation. This is a leaded high building and a very high minaret in another style”. Ferhat Pasha Mosque was converted into a church by Dominican priests in 1724. According to the map drawn in 1780 and the existing ruins, it is understood that the mosque was built in a classical style with a square plan and a dome.
