a town of Hungary, county of Baranya, on the western arm of the Danube, 25 miles E.S.E. of Fünfkirchen. It contains a castle; Roman Catholic, Greek, and Protestant churches; a handsome episcopal palace; a monastery; school; and county buildings. The commerce is considerable, and it has a quay on the Danube, whence wine, corn, wood, coal, &c., are despatched to Vienna. The steamers on the Danube also call here. Five fairs are held annually at Mohacs, and are very much frequented. In the neighbourhood of the town two famous battles were fought: the first in 1526, when the Turks, under Solymán the Magnificent, defeated the Hungarians with great loss; and the other in 1687, when the Turks in their turn were defeated by the imperialists under the Duke of Lorraine. Pop. 10,050.
