Pécs (hongrois : Pécs [ˈpeːʧ] ; allemand : Fünfkirchen ; anciennement en français Cinq-Églises) est une localité hongroise, ayant le rang de ville de droit comital et siège du comitat de Baranya. Chef-lieu de la micro-région de Pécs, elle se situe dans le sud du pays, en Transdanubie, au pied du massif du Mecsek. La ville se situe sur l'ancien site de Sopianæ, fondée par les Romains avant le IVe siècle et perdue lors de la chute de l'empire. Le site est par la suite mentionné dès 871 sous le nom de Quinque Basilicæ. L'arrivée des Magyars dans le bassin des Carpates se traduit par la fondation en l'an 1000 du Royaume de Hongrie. Le premier roi du pays, Étienne Ier de Hongrie, y fonde un épiscopat en 1009. À partir de 1235, la ville est connue sous le nom de Pécs. En 1367, Louis Ier de Hongrie y fonde la première université du pays, la Studium Generale. Au XVe siècle, la ville devient ainsi un haut lieu de l'humanisme de la Renaissance. Elle est prise par les Ottomans au XVIe siècle. D'un point de vue purement culturel, cela contribua à l'enrichissement de son patrimoine. En 1780, Pécs reçoit le rang de ville libre royale par la reine et impératrice Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche. La ville poursuit son développement sous l'ère industrielle et devient un haut lieu de la production céramique. Cinquième ville de Hongrie, Pécs est une cité cosmopolite et multiculturelle où se croisent essentiellement des Hongrois, mais aussi des Croates et des Souabes du Danube. Ce patrimoine est distingué en 2010 lorsque la commission européenne en fait la capitale européenne de la culture aux côtés d'Essen et Istanbul. En 1988 et 2015 Pécs a accueilli les dixième et dix-neuvième éditions du festival Europa Cantat.
