Peçuy, Hacı Hüseyin Câmii

The Hacı Hüseyin Mosque, reported by Evliyâ Çelebi, was located on the inside of the Budin Gate in the Pecs suburb. The traveller describes the mosque as follows: “This is the date written on the inside of the Budin Gate, on the qibla gate of the Hacı Hüseyin Mosque: Rhymes are müfte'iliin fâ'ilün. Cümle hayrattan ol / Câmi'-i Hacı Hüseyn /Avn-i Hudâyile ol / Düştü mahalline bil / Kalbime ilhâm olup / Ahmedî târih dedim / Hâdî-i cennet ola / Dâr-ı na'îme delîl. / Sene 1028 This mosque is also a bit stranger to the congregation, it is the district where bells are rung in a tower on the Budin Gate adjacent to the mosque. That’s why the congregation in this mosque is small. All mosques and masjids hear the sound of this clock bell and make their call to prayers accordingly, it is a loud bell.” The Hacı Hüseyin Mosque has not reached the present day. On the map dated 1687 drawn after the Turks left the city, it is marked at the place reported by Evliyâ Çelebi (Király Street No: 44). The present church was built on the site of the mosque in 1756; No trace of the old mosque remains.
