context_page_description: Jakab-hegy is a mountain in the Mecsek range in Hungary. Its highest point is 602 metres above sea level. The hill is known for its various geological formations and historic sites.
context_section_description: The plateau of Jakab-hegy provided an attractive opportunity for human settlement. During the Iron Age, a huge fort was created upon the earlier encampments which became an important oppidum and political centre of the Hallstatt culture and later the Celts. The fort was abandoned due to Roman conquest, however, its ramparts are still visible.
  During the Middle Ages a small village was formed inside the then-abandoned fort. Its church's patron saint was Saint Jacob, thus gained the hill its name. In 1225, a monastery was built upon the church for the local hermits by the Bishop of Pécs. The Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit partially stemmed from this community. The monastery was abandoned during the Ottoman occupation, but renovated and expanded in the 18th century. It fell into disrepair after the monastic order was outlawed by Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor in 1780. Today only the monastery's preserved ruins remain.
