FÜNFKIRCHEN (five churches; in Hungarian Pecs which in the language of tho surrounding Slavic tribes means five) a town of Hungary capital of the county of Baranya, 105 m SS W from Buda pop 18,500. It is surrounded by rich vineyards in the vicinity of mineral springs and is one of the pleasantest towns of Hungary. It contains an old Gothic cathedral built on the site of a Roman castle, 2 monasteries, a public library, several schools and hospitals and a theatre. Tho population consists chiefly of Magyars but the Slavic and German inhabitants are also numerous. The town has considerable commercial industry its trade being chiefly in coal alum vitriol wine grain tobacco rape seed wool and other products of the neighboring country.
Fünfkirchen is supposed to be the Colonia Serbinum of the Romans. In the time of Hungarian independence it was larger and much more important than now. History mentions that 2,000 of its students marched out to the battle field of Mobiles where the Hungarians were defeated by the Turks under Solyman Aug 29 1526. This sultan passed some time at Funfkirchen during the siege of the fortress of Szigeth and was so delighted with the place that he called it a paradise on earth. It remained in the hands of the Mussulmans from 1543 till 1686. During the late Hungarian revolution it was mostly in the hands of the Austrians.
Inače, Baranja je, kao i crnogorski grad Berane dobila ime po slovenskoj i srpskoj reči koja označava ovcu odnosno ovna (beran = ovan).
