Visiting Zsolnay Quarters in Pécs – HÖOK Diaspora Mentoring Program Event

Come join us to visit the Zsolnay Quarter in Pécs!

Let’s go on a time-travel trip together to the 19th century and explore the wonders of the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter. The Zsolnay family has established a factory here producing porcelain. The whole quarter is covered with their world famous product, making it a Hungaricum, well worth visiting.

We will discover the beautifully restored 5-hectare area with a total of 15 protected historic buildings and 88 public Zsolnay statues. Every square meter of the quarter holds so many attractions and unique exhibitions presenting the Zsolnay heritage.
