Pécs [ˈpeːʧ], deutsch Fünfkirchen (lateinisch Quinque Ecclesiae, slowakisch Päťkostolie, kroatisch Pečuh, serbisch-kyrillisch Печуј Pečuj), ist mit 142.873 Einwohnern (Stand 2019) die fünftgrößte Stadt Ungarns und Sitz des Komitats Baranya und hat selber Komitatsrecht. Sie liegt nahe der kroatischen Grenze. Die Stadt ist Bischofssitz und Sitz einer Universität sowie Zentrum der Donauschwaben und Heimat von neun ethnischen Minderheiten mit eigenen Selbstverwaltungen. Pécs liegt am Fuße des Mecsek-Gebirges und die zahlreichen Baudenkmäler verleihen dem Ort eine mediterrane Atmosphäre. Am 19. Oktober 2005 gewann die Stadt die nationale Vorausscheidung für den Titel „Kulturhauptstadt Europas 2010“ und richtete das Jahr unter dem Motto Pécs2010 Kulturhauptstadt Europas aus. Die Universität Pécs bietet das Studium der Humanmedizin und der Zahnmedizin in deutscher und englischer Sprache sowie ein englischsprachiges Studium der Pharmazie. Ein englischsprachiges Studium kann zusätzlich an der Faculty of musical and visual arts absolviert werden.
